Look like Mojano ? But is it ?

[SHNICI]

Hi, found this one under a rock with zoas on it (got it few days ago), still stay in quarantine, because of cleaning many aptasias on the rock, the one from the photos stay only under the rock, isn't moving from that spot for about 4 days. It open it self mainly when it's dark, under light don't stay that much open (like Mojano or Aptasia). I fpund this post from Melev's reef site, but still not sure

I don’t think it’s a Majano(I think), maybe a ball anemone(a type of mushroom coral). Maybe like this?

I also agree with ball anemone, I have a bunch in my refugium. They are pretty cool!

Yep, ball anemone. Very cool and actually a mushroom coral rather than an anemone.

ok, thank you, it's really cool looking it under UV (mainly), but now is the question, how to take it off w/o killing it from there (I'm enough handy), and do it can live on a light, to can see/observe it without turning the rock? Have and enough tools, just not sure which method to use (to scrap it gently from there and try to attach it to another peace, or to brake the rock (it's like a stone) and to keep it that way (if have to brake it, can damage the sponge/anemone if brake under it, don't have saw for that hard stone/rock)
Any advice? Asking and looking to take it off, to can I treat the rock with the Zoas, want to dip it for pests and not to hurt that creature.

Strawberry ball anemone

+3 ball
The ones seen in reef tanks tend to be small and live deeply within the nooks and crannies of live rock. They come commonly on live rocks and on coral frag disks. They are generally mistaken for Majano anemones and many aquarists treat them like pest anemones, but they pose no real threat to the aquarium other than thriving in it.

Agree, but I do like it, like I say, and I look for a way to can have in the DT and to be visible x
BTW (ByTheWay) minute ago just touch the tips with a metal peace, and it look they are sticky, 2 of the ball tips stick to the metal, when I slowly pull out the metal (tweezers) it open his mouth, like t catch something to eat

P.S. tomorrow I'll see what can I use to cut the rock under it and to place it somewhere in the tank, or if it don't tolerate light that much, I'll stick it to the glass on the darkest site but under UV and 410nm light.
