Got some live rock from someone who was taking down his tank. Once my tank complete cycling and all the water parameters were where I wanted them these guys started taking off. Started with 5 and now have 10 after 2 weeks. And as I readed here, "Nothing good happen fast". I think they are majano anemones but maybe Aiptasia Anemones, Would really like some help Identifying them Thanks.

Yep, looks like aiptasia. Get them out ASAP. I use kalk paste or sometimes just cut them off the rock with a razor blade.
 
Either aiptasia or majano anemones. Either way, they are bad news and the treatment is the same. The key thing is killing the whole animal, because if you just kill most of it they will just grow back.

What's worked for me is injecting them with lemon juice or a kalk solution. You can buy syringes and needles at any pharmacy.

Aiptaisa ; I think; Maybe majano. Kill them now before you have hundreds . Inject them as noted and then if necessary dig them out . Blotting the area with a dry paper towel after removal helps get all the tissue if you are scraping them off.
 
Got Aiptasia-x the other day and try it. Work as advertises. After two day and can't even see were they were. Now will see if they come back.
