What could it be?

Sorry, posted this in coral's but no positive ID, so thought I'd try here. Little Zoa/Paly looking critter on the left underside of the coral skeleton. I don't think it's a coral though, 'cuz it can move. Almost looks like a miniature BTA, but I'm not sure on that either. It doesn't much care for light. I'm only running PC's, but every time I expose it to direct light, it moves away from it.
Color rendition in the pic is a bit dark, but otherwise pretty accurate. It has a mouth and two concentric rings of tentacles. Fully extended it's almost the size of a dime now.
Any help would be appreciated. I kinda like the critter, but I want to make sure it's not a pest.

Thanks,
Emil

It's definitely not aptaisia.
Is this positively majano? It doesn't match the pics I've seen, but if it is, it appears it gots to go.

cute huh? I don't wanna remove it.
If I have to, I will - but I don't wanna.
I have them in my tank-at least 8-and they grow very slow. I like them also and have not been a nuisance. They popped out immediately on my LR and look great amongst the coraline. I say keep them

I had them for the longest time without them really multiplying. Then one day BAM! I really need to take a pic of one of the tanks at a LFS... there are thousands upon thousands of majanos in there. I find them tougher to kill than "regular" appies.
