Pics not that clear but my best guess would be glass anemone. Get rid of them before they take over your tank.

Really can't tell anything from the picture but kind of look like some kind of mushroom. Majano anemone maybe but just cant tell from the picture for cretin.

it is like a ball my guess is it's an orange ball anemone... I will try get another pick if possible.

How big would you say it is?

look like Ball anemones's I doubt they will even move from there spot hard to tell with the photo but thats my guess judging by the little white dots

Looks like glass anemones..they spread quickly..remove ..inject with kalkwasser paste..cannot be removed by scraping..i tried it and failed

its currently about .5 inches in diamter... its not aiptasia and it does have white dots on it. if it's a ball anemone are they harmless?

Bad pic but does this look like it?

I did more digging and if it looks like the one below then, it's a Pseudocorynactis or ball anemone as previously suggested. They do pack a powerful sting and reproduce via fission but it seems like they are not getting the bashing like mojanos and aiptasias. You can monitor them and if they start getting out of hand, then start squirting.

remove..they sting...they can go in between zoas..its easy to remove them by scraping..i always do this way and they never come back like aiptasias
