what about it says "pest" over just being a benign inhabitant?

It's not Aiptasia and it's not a Mojano...

I've had the same things for almost 3 years, never figured out what they were. Haven't had any problems with them other than their population slowly increases, which I keep in check by injecting them once in a while with something acidic. They're quite hardy

I'd consider anything a pest that spreads wherever it chooses and doesnt seem to benefit my reef.

I have a hard time believing noone on this site can ID this thing.

You description of pests would actually suit quite a few corals I have had over the years...

Xenia for example or montis...

That's cause Xenia is a pest. Looks like crap and grows to Damn fast. That thing is definitely related to aptasia and I bet you it stings surrounding corals. And if it spreads fast looks like **** and stings things it's a pest.

If its coming out of the skeleton its probably a Duncan coral , there are empty skeleton next to it , duncans are tough and can come back from a shrunken head .
