Just curious if this is a pest Anemone or if it's a safe one.
It came on a hitchiker snail from Pisces a while back. Its never ate any fish or bothered anything really besides a candy cane coral then I got it to move.
Let me know,,,

I'd say this is it. Google the name and you will see that it's a pest.

well its underneath a rock thats a kinda "cave" or "bridge" it use to stay in the open under t5's but once i upgraded and got MH its stayed there. The pictures are off an iphone 4.
Ya those photos kind of match up. Like how the tentacles are all in a circle, around the base, and the white markings.
Verdict to take it out?
