I need an ID

[hopkins6]

These came attached to one of my live rocks. They are not aiptiasia. They are dark orange with tentacles like aiptasia but have blob things on the end like an anemone. Could they be baby anemones?

They haven't moved around, so thats what is keeping me from thinking they are anemones.

I think they are mojanos (spelling?) they look kind like baby BTA's.

Yes, they are Anemone. Aiptasia are also Anemone.
I think ci is right about them being Mojano. They are considered a pest because of how fast the propogate. Fortunately, they are very easy to remove. Just scrape them off the rock if they become overpopulated.

Thanks

I had one of two of those on a piece of LR with some mushrooms and now I have maybe 15 of them in my tank. I want to get rid of them. Are they going to sting my corals?

They do sting some corals in my experience. Especially SPS.
To remove them I just scrape them off with a bamboo skewer. They come right off.
