This guy popped up about a month ago, any ideas?

Put a blob of glue/epoxy over it and cross your fingers. Looks like aptasia to me and you don't want those in your tank.

A tasseled or anemone eating file fish. I had a real problem with aptasia and I got one of these and they all were gone for a couple of weeks. These fish are very peaceful too and very hardy. We lost power for three days in the winter and my file fish, a couple of maroon clowns and the anemone were the only ones to survive the ice cold water. Plus they will eat regular good too.

Peppermint shrimp will eat aptasia...I've used them many times with total success

Thanks everyone, going to try my luck with peppermint shrimp first.
