Help ID, taking over my tank

[joshdr]

Hello everyone, I'm not really new, just still don't know anything after 5 years. I read tons of info and just get more confused. These small green (I think and anonomes) have started multiplying very quickly. They look and act just like my large anemone, they don't disappear like aptasia. Anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?

They don't dissapear into the rock or sand when you try to get it out or disturb them like aptasia does, the just ball up.

Looks like big aiptasia to me, but the green makes me think maybe not?

looks kind of like majano anemones, another pest. Google some pics and see if they match?

I'd get a peppermint shrimp. If it's aphasia, it'll take care of it for you.

Agreed definitely get a peppermint shrimp especially if there overtaking your tank.

I agree majano anemone. Peppermint shrimp are nice but will not help. From what I know, a bicolor angel or butterfly raccoon are your best bets, but neither are reef safe.

Any idea of what the bicolors typically pick at? I've had mine for about 2 years in an SPS dominated tank with no issues. Though my Duncan's do keep falling over...
