Rock anemone or pest anemone

[jmareef1022]

Ok so went to my local beach and found this baby on a rock what is it ... Black spots on foot and moves..it's currently In the tank but can pullout if it's a pest

I'm interested to see the answers. Its shape looks like a condy.

Really hoping it's not a condy..it dug himself in the sand too

My guess would be Atlantic Condylactis.

Spots? By spots. Do you mean verrucae or splotches of color? Cause there are two others that come to mind.

In the pic you zoom and see the black dots.. Today at the beach was very surprised to see them so close..my daughter spotted to real big ones that were in a rock but exposed..it really did look like a flower after splashing some water on it to see it better after more inspection I came across a baby one

Very sticky too

It's most likely a Warty Sea Anemone (Bunodosoma cavernata). They can vary pretty greatly, but I am pretty sure that is an accurate ID.
Be glad it isn't a condy since recreational harvesting of them is illegal in FL.

Nothing illegal here close one though I guess..yes looks like a warty sea anemone for sure.
After further reading looks like I should probably pull it out..
Thanks for the id I was almost sure it was a rfa..
