Nice pic, looks like a glass anemone. Really neat colouring though!

I've had a majano before and these don't look like that did. I'll probably try to nuke them but I wanted to know what they are.

looks a lot like aptaisia. very much a pest and you would want kill it asap before it spreads. I would wait till others comment to confirm though.

After a bit more research they definitely looked like some sort of aptasia like glass anemone. They have now had a date with some kalk paste.
