Found this little guy on my new live rock. I think its an anemone but figured I'd get a second opinion.

Likely a majano not a good guy.

Yup, its an Anemone, but not one you want to keep. Aiptasia, its gotta go.

How should I go about removing it?

If you can remove the rock with ease you could just burn it off with a cigarette lighter.
Peppermint shrimp, Aiptasia-X, boiling water & kalk paste are some other options as well.

What about tweezers? Lol

Anyone know what this is also? And if it is good or bad

Looks like a majano to me remove rock and burn off if you can or calk it to kill it off.

No... If you don't get all of it then any tissue left behind will most likely grow back again. Even small pieces left to float around the tank and settle will regenerate if I'm not mistaken.
It's definitely a bit of a sticky wicket with these things. GL.

Any means of sudden stress, like tweezers, will make it spawn spores. I had a carpet anemone run over some aiptasia and one week later, babys everywhere!

Agree with tweezers not working. Have to get all of it or you will wish you had left it alone.

Looks like I'll be having baby's then. I just poked it and he sucked inside the rock but I burned the other one so only time will tell. I would get a peppermint shrimp but my tanks not done cycling yet and it might die. Sooo idk if that's a good idea or not
