it is in the same 'pest' class as Aiptasia anemones. It's a small somewhat green anemone (w/green/yellow stalk) that looks similar to a miniature bubble anemone. They reproduce quickly, and like Aiptasia anemones, sting anything they touch. Natural predators include Centropyge, Apolemichthys, and Pomacanthus Angelfishes. Also, the Peppermint Shrimp. Delbeek and Sprung report it comes in as a hitchhiker on rock from Fiji or Indonesia.
