Help ID please?

k - I know I have hydroids at the end of this rock, I'm going to chisel it off one day very soon, but I saw something.......... odd today.



I know I've seen pics of them before, but I'm darned to remember where. Here's a few more pics:



This is the clearest picture of this thing - THIS one snuck away not long after the lights went on, the other is still standing its ground:



Now - on a less evil note, I found this guy from my OA trip to by some nassarius snails, I got one hermit on accident!







Anyone know what kind he is?

Please ignore the cyano in the tank, it's not really there, it's uh, just stopping off...

probably on its way to MY reef tank. Jerk of an algae!!

It looks like a Majano anemone to me. If that is what it is I would nuke it as they can spread similar to Aptasia anemone's - they just tend to be tougher to get rid of. I have many in my 230g and am not having luck eliminating them.

Ah foo - Okay, well I think with the Hydroids being pretty much in the same spot, I'm going to whick out the rock and chisel off those ends, seems a safer bet than trying to do anything else, I need to do that with the end bit and the hydroids, anyhoodles.

Any thoughts on the hermit?

Oh - king of the sea, got the rock from Anthony (Seahorse_Fanatic) eons ago when I first strated up the tank! Nice, huh??? One of my all-time fav pieces
