Not sure what it is, doesn't quite look like any of the normal pest... May be related to majanos... I'd keep that piece of rock easily accessible in case you need to get rid of that thing

its a type of anemone. this is a must have but i think they do have stings. might want to place them a little far away from other corals so they can't sting each other.

They are very pretty and very hardy. They can also eat your fish, especially small ones. That wouldn't stop me from putting one in my tank, just beware.
