What kind of polyp?

[weinerdogfish]

Can anyone identify this polyp?? One showed up one day, and they are now everywhere. They are 3/4" in diameter, and during the day, their outer tentacles are bubble-like, but at night they deflate and are threadlike.

Sorry about no pic, I'm new at all this, and am trying to figure out how to download a photo to this spot. I will try again.

I might be wrong, but that looks like a majano anemone, a pest... not a zoa or paly. Wait on a second opinion though.

I am not an expert, but those don't look like nems to me. And, besides they are colorful and really neat looking! Even if they turn out to not be zoa/paly they are fricken cool!

they almost look like mini maxi anenomes/something like that? Those are sweet looking! I would not kill them, there's some interest in those i'm sure.

Majanos they are, darn.

Majanos they are, darn.

Thanks for the opinions. I researched majanos, and sure enough that's the culprit. I am just sick to think I let these go for so long. My corals have been growing like weeds, so I thought "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Boy do I have alot to learn. I have some Aiptasia Stop, and I'll do as many as I can with that, then I will have to hand pick off some. What a mess.

Try researching the electric wand? aiptasia zapper, might work for it.
