Pest ID please

I have been searching the internet for what this anemone could be. I think this is corynactis carnea also known as strawberry anemone, please correct me if I'm wrong. If it is a strawberry anemone how can I get rid of them? They really irritate my zoas.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I have about a dozen of these in my tank, and they don’t bother a thing. I guess you could squish then or pull them off the rock with tweezers, but they are pretty harmless filter feeders. I think they are pretty awesome too, so I’d keep them, but to each his own.

They are kinda cool, I actually like them but they have been irritating a zoa colony. I have tried removing them with tweezers when I only had 1 or 2 and they spread everywhere in my tank and I have about 10-15. I'm just worried that they will overtake my tank. I guess I will let them be for now until it gets worse. I have been reading a laser works to get rid of them.

Generally, corynactis/pseudocorynactis are pretty cryptic, sticking to darker areas of the tank - in other words, areas that our corals don't frequent. I've had dozens in various tanks and never had issues between them and anything else I wanted to keep.
