What is this?

I would say that's a Manjo Anemone. It's a pest anemone that if left unchecked will take over your tank and make your hair fall out (from stress).

I would wait for verification from another person and then commence the war.

Why are the Manjo Anemone such a problem?, would it even be a problem in a FOWLR tank?

They can reach plague proportions.

Yes and no. Depends on what you think of their looks. Also depends on if you get a "creeping death" strain or a "rabbits of doom" strain.

But these are Aiptasia, so you probably want to get rid of them regardless. They look like stringy algae when they get going hard. Not very nice at all.

Do you have links to pictures of these strains of anemones? You have piqued my curiosity.

LOL, they all look the same. It was just a joke regarding the rate that they spread. Sometimes they're fast, sometimes they're slow.

Aiptasia. Majano's aren't as translucent. They also have clubs at the end of their tentacles
