Purchased these red hornets (FINALLY) from my LFS, thought there was some sand on the frag, but low and behold I spotted a red zoa with a white perimeter... anyone know what these are?

Yea I don't think those are zoas either. I would remove them, or at least do some poking around to see if they close up like a zoa or more like an aptasia.
 
Agreed, definitely not a zoa.

But I wouldn't be so hasty to zap the mysterious anemone.

It is clearly irritating the zoas, so I would bust up the frag and put the hornets on their own frag and the weirdo anemone into an observation tank. It looks like a neat score! For all we know, you have two baby rock flowers right there... I have not seen a nuisance anemone like this before! (But, lol, that doesn't mean much)
 
Yeah I think I am going separate and observe instead of just destroying them. I am hoping they turn out to be pretty sweet...

Thanks all for your input!
 
They have the exact same skirt as my rock nem and I see almost all others seem to have.. hmmm I'm beg to ng my money on rock nem.
