Help with hitchhiking anemone ID

[sophos9]

Hi,

Wondering if someone can help please. I've noticed 2 of these anemones hitchhike in on a new coral. Can you help ID them please and advise if they are friendly or not?

Thanks in advance

I"m nost sure if mine were the same thing or not, they look very similiar. Mine didn't do any damage and it thrived for about a year before it disappeared. Never did find out what it was either.

This is the only anemone that I know of that comes close to what you have. It doesn't look exactly the same though??????

Thanks for the quick replies. Checking out all those photos I cannot find a match. What you cannot see on the photo I took are small, ball like clusters on the anemone

The size of the anemone is about 3/4inch in diameter... Closest match so far is Thalassianthus aster, almost no info in google on it?

I can also see a small patch of greenish zoox it its oral disc...

Starting to worry about this now :lol:

Seems like I cannot get a positive ID... Just looking around it also seems a little like the Hell's Fire Anemone :hmm3:
