I found this little buddy peeking out from a rock today. It is translucent and definitely has a mouth, but I don't know what it is.....or if I should get rid of it. Does anyone have any idea as to what this creature is?

Ball anemone. Generally harmless if kept in check. I have a couple in my tank, cool little hitch hiker.

I agree with above ID and Kinda cool to have. I've had no problems with them.

Awesome. I'll do my research on ball anemones! Thank you.

I've got some. They're pseudocorynactis/ball anemones. Mine have pink columns with the same green spots on yours

I thought I removed mine a year ago, only for it to appear a few weeks ago. It's pretending to be a zoa right now. Sitting in the middle of my (out of control) zoa colony. It does absolutely no harm and has stayed about as big as a dime.
