Anemone stowaway!

I went to my LFS a few days ago and bought a few corals. When they were all acclimatised and happy, I noticed that stuck on the back of the rock of my new Acro was a bright green BTA! So far, it seems happy and doesn't seem to want to leave the Acro. It's done a half a circle around it and is now resting on the opposite side of the rock of where it originally was.
I've only ever had one other Anemone before which refused to stop picking fights with a very large Pin Cushion. The Cushion eventually won so I hope this one is less aggressive. It's very small..like the size of a 50c piece.

Any tips anyone can give me to keep this Anemone thriving? Foods in particular for such a small nem?

Greatly appreciated.
 
you can start off by feeding it, mysis/brine shrimp. or any small piece of meat, like a broken up silverside. Im not 100% sure about this but i was told that You should let the nem fully aclimmate before feeding. or else they will just throw it up.
 
do you have any pics i love tiny bta's you are luckky .feed it some small foods verry small foods he will only leave if light gets blocked or out grows space or he will kill other coral and take over spot
 
Just to be safe, look up "majano" on google pics. If it's not like those then congrats! If it is a majano, watch out. :)
 
I'm not sure. All websites seem to have different photos of what a Majano looks like. It's definitely not this:

but does look similar to this with the purple base but more bubble tips

It's gone under a rock and is hanging upside down. When it comes back into the light, I'll take a photo of it and see what you guys think.
