Looks like one of the more unusual species of Aiptasia to me. Was it sold to you as Rock or Trumpet Anemone?

The suspects have been apprehended!!

Don't want to throw the guys under the bus quite yet...

Suffice to say, I take full responsibility for buying something that i didn't research.....

They are kind of cute. Maybe put them in a sump?

They are so despised because they pop all over the place and they sting corals.

It's true it's a risk as when they are tiny and float in the water they can get anywhere.
