Hi everyone! I'm extremely new to reef keeping and as a part of learning and making sure I'm on the right track I decided to create an account here to learn from people with more experience. I have a 16 gallon biocube that I started with "The Package" from TBS. I have quite a few hitchhikers, including what I believe to be an anemone, that I'm not too sure about. Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Nice tank - and . Yes you do have a hitchhiker. And also some very pretty rock. I'm not an expert by any means - It looks a bit like aptaisia. But - People say they spread all over and cause problems. I had one that looked identical to yours that just grew and grew and grew - and never spread. Hopefully someone can answer 'what it is'. Welcome.
 
Doesn’t look like aptasia to me, not saying it’s not, just don’t look like the aptasia I’ve had, maybe majano, which is also invasive. I will also agree that I had a large aptasia myself for a long time, until I tried to kill it, then I had a hundred...also welcome to R2R, tons of good information and help here
 
I stand corrected...although it looked like aiptasia to me, it appears to be a cup coral. Better for you @WasabiSaint that I was mistaken.
