Identification question

[kravi]

I know these aren't the best photos, but it was the best I could do with my not so new digital camera.

Basically, I have an orange growth in one of my rocks, and I'm trying to identify it (and know if it is good or bad).

I'm posting two links to the pictures here. Please take a look and let me know. Thanks!

It's hard to tell, but it looks like a Button Polyp (Protopalythoa species)

A friend of mine said he thought it was either a button pollip or a mojano aenimone. Since one is good, and the other clearly not, I'm worried.

I vote Button Polyp.

Like I said, it's hard to tell. But it looks a lot more like a Button Polyp than a Majano Anemone. Here compare these two pictures for yourself.

Tulip Anemone (Majano species)

I agree. It looks like Protopalythoa.

Great. So I can just let it be More life in the tank.

The pictures you showed me made it crystal clear. It does indeed look like a baby button polip.
