Found this while cleaning my sump

I found this while cleaning my sump today, I’m thinking it’s a baby rock flower anemone but I’m not sure any input would be appreciated. This is the best photo I can get.

It’s a tiny anemone! Not sure what type however. Almost looks like a rock flower anemone to me.

Yeah it’s very small like the size of a pencil eraser, but it’s very bright green on the edges with dark purple like color by the mouth

My opinion would be a majano anemone.

If so, they are very fast! Multiply, and have a nasty sting!

It IS a Majano anemone.

Not familiar with those should I toss it or is it ok??

Should I get rid of it, not familiar with those.

If it were me, I would pull and toss it.

They are neat creatures if you have a separate tank for them!

I would say it is safe in sump, However if it release babies, could make it to your display via return pump. In that respect, perhaps removal would be key

What are the negatives about them or why are they bad?

They move a lot. They move fast. And have a more powerful sting then most every coral. Which means, it will win versus your “prized corals”.

They are right up there with Aiptasia. Get rid of it!
