I recently bought a bunch of frags. This guy came on an Acan frag. At first I thought it was a Poly or some other type of polyp. After removing the frag from the ceramic block this guy remained. Its about 1/2" in diameter and noticed over time it moves around. Still not sure if some type of poylp or maybe a small anemone?

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Looks like majano or manjano. Another pest anemone that will spread rapidly. Best to get rid of it ASAP.
 
Could b a majano...hard to tell with the blues.
 
It looks like a single Duncan head to me in that lighting.

Look like a Duncan to me as well, but it moves around? There is no skeletal structure? Does the polyp ever close completely. Can you get an image with less blue more white light? Thanks. :)

Does it have a skeleton? If not, not a lps of any kind. Looks kind of like a baby bubble tip, but hard to tell in blues also. I would try to isolate it if you can to make sure. Would hate to have you kill a bta.

I thought the same thing. But if it moves it's more than likely an anemone. And a mojano anemone at that...
Get rid of it. They're hard to get rid of once they take over.
 
This is what it looks like with the lights completely on. Hard to tell if it has a skeleton. But yeah definitely moves (slow) and opens and closes
Thanks for your responses. Mojano seems to be the most likely

I thought it looked like a Duncan learnt something from yall
