pest anemome

i got some kind of pest anemone in my tank. it dosent look like manjo or aiptasia anemone. but none the less they are moving around alot and one is in the process of raping my trumpet coral. i was just wondering what is the best way to kill them? kalk paste? blunt force trauma? they are bigger then baby aiptasia and much thicker, kinda greeny turquoise. they don't get very big and they have weird perfectly flat tentacles that don't bulge out or thin down at all untill the very end.

Can you post any sort of picture? It will make it much easier to ID and tell you how to deal with it. Also, the Anemone & Clownfish forum may be best to post this in.

Is that an impressionist piece; or perhaps done with wax crayon? J/k, but it's really hard to see anything from that pic. Is it *on* a coral?
