Can Anyone ID this?

Stared as couple on a rock couple of years ago and as of today they are all over tank, overflow , glass. Does anyone know what they are?

Do you have a picture of the stems on them? The heads look an awful lot like Duncans but I'm sure they're not Duncans.

What actual color are they?

They are brown with green center and they move.

I believe that they are majano anemone. Someone needs to confirm this. If they are they are a true pest.

RA I thought that also but to me they look a bit different. They sure are at plague proportions that's for sure.

Look at the last picture in this article. I'm 99% sure they are majano.

Good catch never found a picture that looked the same. Can't get rid of them tried all kind of stuff including calcium injection. They just keep on coming back.

+1 on the mojano. Kill them with fire!

The problem is you have way too many of them. I would take whatever rock you have that doesn't have corals attached but has a lot of majano and replace it. When you say calcium injection do you mean kalkwasser? You may have to reduce the flow in your tank while battling them. Kalkwasser will kill them if it doesn't get blown off of the injection site. They are a real PITA. Good Luck. I've had them, a few look pretty, mine where green with red and a couple of them looked nice. A tank overrun with them doesn't.
