Im not sure what this is, Not even sure if its a coral. I've got two of them in the tank there maybe Quarter inch circles. Sorry this is the best picture i could get. The center has a bright green dot. and the tentacles are brownish. And they have moved around in the tank here and there.

Majano anemone. Not a good thing. Get some AiptasiaX, kalk paste, or even lemon juice and inject it into the mouth in the center. Should take care of it

No that would be a very bad thing. Tearing the tissue can release spores into the water that will cause them to spread. Please use one of the other methods I listed above.

Uh oh, I read this. I guess i should have waited for your reply. Confused

1) Mechanical Removal â€“ The anemone is assaulted with brute force.  Unlike Aiptasia which can regrow from small bits and thus precludes this approach, Majano do not have this capability, so mechanical removal can be tried.  The anemone can sometimes be grabbed with forceps or tweezers and pulled off the rock.  If the rock is removed from the water, ice or other irritant can be applied to help get it to release it’s foot hold on the rock.
