Help ID Anemone

[MattDiaz]

Anyone know what type of anemone this is? It's spreading quickly.

Sorry about the pictures I took them with my phone. Hope they're clear enough. Thanks in advance for your help!

looks like aptasia to me. a pest (plague) imo and if it were me (and it has been) i would remove the rock immediately scrub them off with a tooth brush rinse the rock and watch for more. looks like you have some zoa on the rock too? obviously just treat the affected area. when i found more in the tank and you cant remove then target feed them with a kalk paste from a small squeeze bulb thing. don't slack don't be lazy and you will be victorious.

If it's aptaisia, then i have the laziest copper band in the world... he doesnt toch them. The aptaisia that I had in th past were brown in color, an much bigger. these look to be a metallic green.

They don't, always.

And I agree they look like aiptasia. I've seen green ones just like that in shallow water in Hawaii. You could try manual removal or some sort of kalk-paste remedy. I've never really had much luck with either as a permanent solution. Chemical remedies are not great if you've got other anemones in the tank, IME.

Peppermint shrimp have always been my go-to, unless they're incompatible with something else in the tank.

They could be Majono anemones, which are still a pest. Get rid of them quickly. I think they look like aptasia as well though.

they looks like colonial anenones. I dont know their true name. But thier different that aptasia and majanoes. Up close they look like miniature flower anemones.

Do they always stay the size of a zoa? If so, I've had those before. They aren't Majano or Aiptasia. They are pretty annoying though, so you will have to treat as described above. FWIW, I've kept Aiptasia and majano with peppermint shrimp before, so there is no guaranteed natural fix, I can tell you that.
