Default Help with ID pls

Finally setup a tank a couple days back and found a two of these guys on live rock. From my reading I thought they could possibly be Aiptasia since they seem to be common hitchhikers. Each is aprox 1 inch diameter and the centers fluoresce green under blue light Thought I'd get some pro opinions than this noobs view. So kill the critters or live and let live?




On a good note, did find some nice Colt coral that came for a ride!

Hey thanks for the response NIVLEM09 !


Here are a couple more shots:



This shot I photoshoped this 2nd pic with color levels to show the center florescent area. ( guess the crappy camera didn't pickup on that )

Doesn't look like any flower rock I have seen. Looks more like a majano anemone to me.

The rock/flower name led me to this anemone called Borneman. What I have and the Rock Flower and Borneman all look very similar. What I have, it's arms have the side ridges just as in this pic: http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k.../Bornemans.jpg

New to anemone so any info is good info!
