Any ideas?

This just appeared in a crevice on some live rock. It inflates and then deflates if anything goes near it. Any ideas would be welcome

Cheers

I would say that is a majano anemone. A pest anemone one would address with a product like aiptasia-x.

Oh right. If I treat it with Aiptasia-X and it’s not a majano will it still kill it. I’d hate to kill off something that’s desirable as opposed to a pest

Cheers

Ok. Well I’ll probably leave it for a week or two then post updated fotos to see if opinions change as it develops. Thankyou for your reply
