Can't tell for sure from those pics, could be paly's or pests
Could you get a pic with more than just the actinic on?

Yea, I agree, it's tough to tell but it does almost look like a paly in that light. The colored center gives it away. Is the body mostly translucent or more opaque? Translucent means it's likely a pest anemone.

Feed it something meaty.
A ProtoPaly will slowly curl around food, a pest Anemone will yank it from your hand.

They eat quickly but so do the yellow polyps that came on that rock too! What should I do juice em, or leave em?
Your observation is interesting in that Yellow Polyps are actually a species of Colonial Anemone.
Mojano are easy to physically remove. Use a wooden dowel or just your fingernail. Don't attempt the same thing with Aiptasia, but it can be done safely with Mojano.
They are no more dangerous that your Yellow Polyps, the main reason they are considered a pest is that they can multiply rapidly.

So do you just squish them? I have a couple in my tank. I pulled the rock out of my tank and squirted it with lemon juice and let it set for a minute and it is still going strong.

Carefully scrape it off the rock.
