[Anemone]

Looks like a form of aiptasia to me.

 

[LCornelius]

Jip, Aptiasia! get rid of it ASAP!

 

[magman]

I don't think it is aipitasia, to me it looks like a zoa that grows in low light, I had one similar that was white, aipitasia has a champagne glass base, this looks flatter like a zoa,

Does the tenticles have little frayed ends?

If it is aipitasia, take the LR out and inject it with vodka, and then spray a bit all around the base, it slides out like snot, just don't mess the vodka anywhere else.

I tend to agree

 

[RiaanP]

Its not mojano,
And I do not think it is aiptasia either. Too red in colour. Better pic from the side will help.

[Afsal]

[Tony]

[Anemone]

I turned the rock to try get a better pic but now it wont come out its hole so cant get a pic.

A behavior of an anemone.

 

[cswhitehead]

I wouldn't worry about it, you are going to find all sorts of weird and wonderful growths and creatures and sponges on your rock as your tank matures.
