Hi all. So I bought some 15 snails yesterday at the LFS. After acclimation I dumped them in. Once in the tank I noticed one of the snails had what looked to be a zoa polyp on his shell!? It then slid directly off the snail and into a crevice of rock directly below where I had placed the snail. Is this a pest anenome then? It has a pink base and center with bright green balls at the tips?? Any help would be appreciated.

Pictures are pretty blurry,,, not sure if you can pick up that rock and get a clearer/closer shot NOT through the glass?
Don't listen to me but those tentacles look more forward/grabby than zoanthids (to me).

Not sure if these pictures are any better. I can’t get the rock out of the tank for a clearer picture. Excuse the diatoms.

Ok so I found a pic that looks very very similar so I guess it’s a Manjano nem. The only difference is mine has bulb looking tips. ‍♀️
