Can anyone ID this? please don't tell me it's a peat anenome...

Sorry evidently I'm not the best at spelling, or editing....can anyone tell me what this is, I just recently noticed it on my rock, I believe it moved off a zoa frag I picked up. Another rock was covering it, so it's been in the dark.

It looks like a rock anemone of some sort to me, especially since you said it moved.
Does it open up when the lights are out?

not sure it's underneath a rock...good or bad? it's really ugly

Just guessing here since you dont know if it opens up or not...
Maybe try a flashlight in the dark?
Good or bad depends on it’s size... If large enough, it can potentially catch fish. I don’t think they reproduce like aptasia do though. I use to have a small one (about an inch fully open) in my tank for quite a few years with no massive outbreaks. Just the one, with no fish altercations either.

When I was feeding last night I noticed it opening up. It's still under the rock so I couldn't get a pic. But I will try.

he's a sneaky bugger, but I'll win

He's the size of a dime, my fish are small but not quite that small!! I was more worried about it reproducing like aptasia or Mojo.
