I decided to move some rock around on my FOWLR setup. I found a few new items when I did this. The rock in the tank is from three different sources. I haven't added any new rock in a few months.

Please help me out with some identification.

I believe the item on the upper left is some kind of Zoa. I found several individuals on different rocks.

On the right is a reddish pom-pom looking item. Not real sure what that is. It is about the size of a dime. I only see one of these.

Wider picture of the same rock:

Thanks for the help.

They all look like Majano Anemones

It also looks like you have some valonia in there.

Should I get rid of the Majano Anemones? They're not really harming anything now but I do want to eventually convert the tank to a reef. I don't want them to over run the tank.

I actually think the valonia looks pretty cool, but I understand it can get out of hand. For now I'll leave it alone and see what it does.

Get rid of the Mojo's Asap. They spread like wild fire.

Get them out, if you can. Had one and thought how cute a baby bubble anemone, but after a while they took over my tank. Still have a couple, but I keep removing them with a toothpick ones in a while.

I just did a partial water change, pulled the affected liverock and used tweezers to remove the Majano Anemones and most of the bubble algae. Then I rinsed it in the old water and put it back. I don't see any more anemones. Hopefully I'll be good. We'll see.

Thanks for the help.
