Pest ID?

[Charlene]

Can you tell me what these critters are on my rock? I had one only last week. Now there are 6.

look like aiptasia - pest anemone

Looks more like a majano anemone, which can be pests in some cases.

I am not sure its either as I've seen the pests mentioned but these guys look different from either of those buggers. The aptasia I've seen are brown and have a more elongated body and the majano's I've seen are fatter looking than these guys. Having said that I'm far from an expert in these matters.

This.

There are some other rock anemones that can proliferate similar to Aiptasia and Majanos, but your pictures aren't really clear enough to determine what they are. That being said, if they went from one to six in a week, I'd pull out the kalk paste or buy some Aiptasia X and nuke 'em.
