Most likely Mojano, they are considered a pest and will multiply quickly, but not as fast as others. Unless you’re obnoxious with your QT procedure, it’s inevitable they’ll get introduced.

They will be problems when they multiply. If it were in my tank I would try to get rid of it if it were reachable. I would try kalk powder first. There of lots of threads out there though. Here’s one

Majanos! How do you get rid of them?

I'm no expert but if this was in my aquriam and I wanted to remove.

Its a ball anenome and although given name anemone is actually a big mushroom but given the pattern of the balls, called anemone. They come in cool colors and virtually harmless why many reefers retain them
