Anemone eh?
It is most certainly a limpit. I had a bunch of these in my tank as hitchikers on FL liverock... they are now all removed. I would take that one you have there out as well.

 

[sweetdawn]

i have one of those why are they bad

 

[promisetbg]

No reason to remove him...he's a good algae eater.

I have a couple of those same critters, there real slow movers but there great for the tank. Todd
p.s. What Dougai said about Thomas! Hes exactly right, but dont tell Thomas, he might get a big head about it!!

:hilarious

I have a bunch of those.... they just came out of nowhere one day. They're beneficial, right?

 

[thomas712]

They really are not bad at all, the worst that can happen is they will eat your algea and coralline down to the rock, but that's only the evil ones.
