ID help on this Anemone?

[Tim Olson]

I just spotted this today, behind my Sun Coral. I'm assuming it's bad, but I would like to make sure before I eradicate it.

I'm guessing it's some form of an anemone.

Sorry about the bad pictures, but I couldn't get my SLR set up right.

Thanks for any help!

Looks like a ball anemone

They're not the worse hitchhikers to have. I have a couple in my tank. As long as you don't overfeed their numbers tend to self regulate

Thanks again!

Sound good. It probably showed up since I've been feeding a ton, trying to get my nitrates up. So I should feed less, it looks like, and figure out another way to increase nitrates.
