Live Rock Hitchhiker ID Please?

This looks a lot like an unwanted anemone to me after doing some online searching, but was hoping to get a more informed 2nd opinion.

Thanks in advance!

Yes that would be a pest anemone, looks like 2 actually, aiptasia.

Thanks for the fast reply! Yeah, there are several spots popping up on this one piece of live rock. It's only been in the tank for a week.

Now to decide on the best way to get ride of them. Maybe combination of peppermint shrimp ( because we like the look of them ) and Joe's Juice....

Manually kill the ones you see. Many options out there such as joes juice or aiptasiax, lemon juice, kalk, boiling water etc. Then get a few peppermint shrimp to eat the ones you cant see or cant get too.

Thanks! We will do that. Bought some aiptasia-x tonight and ready to do some damage!
