Need help identify Something!

[tduvnola]

I am new to this forum and just starting a nano tank. I purchased some live rock and there is something growing on it. Does anyone know what it is? As I am sitting here it is changing. I just saw some stringy stuff coming from the middle of it with a pink dot on the stringy stuff. I hope it is not bad. It is green, pink and brown and glows green in the dark with blue lights on. Any help would be great. Hope I posted the photos properly (1st photo is how it normally looks 2nd photo is what it just changed to. Thanks.

Could be a majanos nuisance anemone. I would inject it with lemon juice,vinegar,boiling water, or kaulkwasseur ! Or you can take the rock out and burn it off with a lighter.

Thanks ReeferBill! I will keep an eye on it. I was hoping it wasn't something bad but sounds like it is. Why are the majanos nuisance anemone bad? Like i said I am very new to this and every time I look at the rocks I see something new. I have no fish yet just hermit crab and hitchhikers (starfish snails and worms). Taking it very slow.

I cannot see the pic so cannot verify the majano anemone id. Anyhoo, they are considered a nuisance because they spread like wildfire. If it is a majano, you need to start searching the threads on various removal options and chose the best for you, but do it BEFORE they start to spread.

Hard to say but it does look like a majano. Id remove it asap.

Could be a coral. Could be a majano.
