Hello,

I was just staring at my tank lol and I see this tiny anemone moving across a lr. Ive found one before but I killed it as I didn't want any issues, this one is also larger than the past one. Now that there is another one I decided to get it ID'd. Looks like a strawberry or ball anemone. Its so small, I don't have a good enough camera to see it clearly, I tried taking some pictures with the best camera I have. If its not a pest ill keep it, I like its colors.:p

I have some too, came with my live rock, started with 1 now theres 3 on the same rock. They seem to only come out when the lights are off. But when the blues are on I can for a brief moment se the white tips, looks really cool :)

You think its possible to remove them from the rock and place them somewhere else?
 
It's just a blur in the photos - you're sure they're not aiptasia?? After suffering an aiptasia infestation my instinct is: kill it with fire.

I have no idea, when theyre closed up they look like tiny red dots about the size of a grain of rice. Mine are all about the size of a nail... if not smaller
