hitchhiker anemone

[miohippus]

just bought this little frag tonight but after we got to the car i noticed a hitchhiker should i try to remove it and if so how.

it think it is a strawberry anemone but not sure

My first thought is a paly.

When you touch it with a probe (anything), does it immediately close up? If so, my second guess is a majano anemone.

If it doesn't immediately close, it's not an anemone.

I don't see strawberry anemone....I always thought they had red color....looking like a strawberry.

looks like a bulb anemone...if the zoanthids is not annoyed then leave it alone, I do not think bulb anemone's are very aggressive

It is hard to tell in the photo but it is red/pink. and it dose close it you poke at it.

That is a zoanthid, you can see how others are right next to it. Fine for a tank....not an anemone.
