Had these for a while, they slowly move around the rock as well. The brownish center with green tentacle looking anemone type things.

My guess is majano anemones.

Second on the mojanos. Those darn things multilpy like bunnies. Best to eradicate them with some Joe's Juice or kalk paste before they get out of hand.

I agree. When its mojano vs. coral, the mojano will always win. And as you've noticed, they MOVE!

Def. majanoes. I use boiling hot RO with some lemon juice added in a syringe. A 19# needle works best and I've had the best success when I sink the needle down to the base of the mouth.

They proliferate quickly and will sting corals (using specialized cells called nematocysts just like other anemones and jellyfish) until they die. They can also starve zoas and such by blocking photosynthetic light from reaching the zooxanthellae hosted in the coral's cells.
