If you can identify this I applaud you. I tried to get a pic but where it sits its kinda hard to take.
It has a top like a Zoo, with about 1/4" long tentacles. Heres the kicker....the basic color of this is pinkish, with bright green dots around the plate or where the tentacles start, and on the end of the tentacles its bright pink tips.
If it helps its growing on the side of a Anthillia frag I got awhile back. Im thinking of leaving it for now, but gonna keep my eye on it. Thanks if you can help.

majano anemone !!!!! its bad take the coral rock or wereverer its on and get a knife and a lighter heat up the knife for like a minute and press it lighley onto it. do this about 4 times and you should see it pop then get a small piece of paper towel and swipe all the goo out of the part were it was at and YOUR done. ( Google majano anemone first to see if thats it but it comes in different colors so just dont think it has to be a certain color its kinda like an aiptasia anemone but a little worse but dont worry i am sure it has not spread yet like infested your tank if thats what it is just make sure not to mess with it INSIDE the tank.
