that’s where I’m heading when I get back. Nice epoxy hat for it.Can you get some good white light on it? It doesn't look like aptasia to me. Maybe some kind of daisy? TBH I'd have already covered it with super glue if it was in my tank....
The lights are actually white in real life (admittedly a very high colour temperature, around 15000k), but photos come quite blue.

Definitely a type of anemone, probably an aiptasia variety. The question is whether it's a variety that proliferates quickly, or one that may remain single in your tank for years. If it's the latter, it's no more harmful than a BTA or other non-pest nem.
Is this on live rock from the gulf/Atlantic?

This is on some dead rock, but that rock was incubated with 20% live/80% dead for 3 months before use. Live was Indonesian rock.
I think I see another one behind another rock, so I think it is preading a bit

OG UnHoly Grail Glass Anemone.
Just tried to brighten it up and pull out some of the blues and greens. Even if the experts here have IDed it as aiptasia at least it's easier to see now lol.
