I got some Live rock and had it in my tank a few days. Then Bam, from no where this anemone pops up. At least I think it is an anemone. There is about 10 of em. they look like little flowers with 6 skinny petals.

Anywho I know you can't really ID what you can't see. So I was wanting to know if there was a good website that had a buch listed I could search through.

Thanks in advance

Does it look like this? Could be aiptasia, but hard to say without a pic... ;)

It kinda looks like the one on the left but it is neon green in color and only has 6 petals coming out of it, and they are more rounded not so pointy.

But they overall shape is almost spot on.

The rock did have 2 Aiptasia on it that was the pic you showed but this one does not quite fit the same look, and petal shape.

Probably majano. It's not as bad as aiptasia, but it's another pest anemone.
