Is this a pest anemone?

[dea_mt]

my buddy told me this was a pest anemone but it looks more like hitch hiker polyps to me? can someone tell me whether they are pest or hitch hikers? i've seen aptaisia and this doesn't really look like it if you ask me. as you can see these have yellow centers around their mouths.

and one more thing i have 2 peppermint shrimp and i have seen them eat other aptaisia before

it kinda looks like majano (spelling?) anemone which IS a pest, but im not sure

crap i guess i'm gonna have to move my trumpet and start operation: 'DEATH FROM ABOVE'

doesn't neccessarily look like aiptasia to me. Does it retract really fast if you were to put your finger near it?

They're not Anemone, they're Protopalythoa, a type of Zooanthid.

ok thanks, i was wondering because i knew it wasn't aptasia and i looked up majano on google and it didn't look alike at all, also they are all connected at the base like a colony of zoos would be. cool because i haven't been able to keep any other zoos (damn sally lightfoot crabs!)
