Struggling hugely with an ID of this nems. They have bubble tips during the day, which become short tentacles at night. They don't walk, though they are at the top of the tank, they don't seem to move much though. They are a maroon/red/brown colour with pale green centre. They also do have a stem which they will stretch out on at times. I don't think they are majanos from the pics I have seen but cannot be certain, so could anyone ID please?

These are the best pics I can get, however the colour is slightly washed out, they are a deeper red in real life, they are about an inch across when expanded

That is called a Majano anemone. It is a pest anemone just like Aptasia. These will sting corals, but if you are keeping anemones and clown fish in your tank then you can keep it. They are very pretty and come in green, red, brown, and beige. They'll split in your tank! I say keep them, but it's your choice.
