I have 2 such creatures living in my aquarium. They arrived on live rock. The diameter of the disc in an open state is about the size of a 10 kopeck coin. One constantly stays in place, while the other constantly travels around the rock - sometimes to the sun, sometimes to the shade, with routes not longer than 15 cm.

Anemones, which come with live rocks, can reproduce in the aquarium, and I haven't noticed any harm from them. I had 2 of them, I remember I fed them until they reached sizes of about 5-6 cm in diameter. They are pleasant to look at, you could even say they are quite beautiful.

I suspected it was something anemone-like. Trying to identify the species...

if it weren't for the softness)) - looks super like Duncan. In general, the anemone - you can tell by the tips of the tentacles - they are white - either Crispa, or Malu, or something else. When Lyokha wakes up () - he'll classify it. He can do it)

This is a Mayano, a relative of aephtasia. It is advisable to remove them from the aquarium...

Those Mayans that constantly come with J.K. (living stones), the ends of the tentacles are slightly different, and the foot has no pattern, although I don't argue, there can be varieties. I haven't noticed mass reproduction, like in the photo, and the suppression of other invertebrates behind them...

Offtopic, I haven't slept for three days for sure, spent a few days at the sea having some fun. Well, seriously, Denis replied, it's the same problem as aiptasia. But if they like it in your aquarium, then I think it's harder to deal with than aiptasia; it covers everything, and not everyone wants to eat it. (There are some beautiful specimens among them.)
