Is this an anemone?

[Emlee]

So recently I've got a new nano tank. It's been cycling for about a month I'd say. We recently put in a cleaner crew because we had some brown algae start to grow and I wanted to get it all cleaned up. Well today while checking on the tank and seeing how the clean up crew was going I noticed a small what looks to be maybe a anemone? I'm not really sure. I did a google search but nothing really looked like this. So do any of you know what it may be?

*Circled it in red so you can see it better. It's got a red/dark red color.*

Looks like a lot of things. Can you take a picture without the blue light?

Hard to tell, but looks to be a majano anemone. A pest glass anemone that needs to be killed off with a product like aiptasia-x or injecting it with boiling lemon juice.

It showed up only for two days and is now gone.

I myself like the hot white vinegar method seems to always knock them off the first time .

You are so right. I was checking out my tank as I do multiple times a day and of course there it is popped up on a rock in the back. Can they move around? I'll try and get a picture of this one in the back because it is in more of a white light. Do I have to worry about it hurting fish or anemones?

My previous post disappeared... but here it is again. It re-appeared today in the back of my tank.

Start blasting them, they will spread like wildfire.
