Experts second opinion on this pest

[jblasi]

I unfortunately have a feeling I know what this guy is. But I would love to get more eyes and opinions on what this pest. I have noticed a few of them in the tank. This is the biggest one. It’s in a weird spot so it was difficult to get a good picture of it. The tank is SPS dominant and when it was first started 2 years ago we temporarily had 2 Yuma’s in there. But I do not think it is one.

Doesnt really look like a mojando

It a ball anemone, not really a pest. They can sting corals but that is about it.
They don't really pose a issue and are usually small.

A majano is what I was scared it would. But I have looked and looked but couldn’t find an image that compared.

Ball nem/mushroom
Not really a danger like aptasia or majano, but it can spread and annoy other corals.

Thank you all. I appreciate the feed back! I’m assuming you could use some aptasia products that cover to wipe them out

Yeah. Same idea to remove. Manual removal also works and is probably less hassle though.

You could. They are not a bad anemone and rarely become a problem. They usually disappear after a while or end up under a rock. Most people kind of think they are cool.
