Hi,
I got a coral on a rock and on the rock I found a very small pink anemone. It's about 7mm diameter. I don't think it's aiptasia or majano because the colour is totally different from the ones I could find pictures of.
I first saw it when I placed the rock in my aquarium and it came loose and floated around in the tank. I took it and placed it on another piece of rock and the next morning I found it attached to another rock, so it moved around, which I think is very untypical for pest anemones like aiptasia (correct me if I'm wrong).

Could it be a baby rose tip anemone or something like that?

A picture would help with identification

Really hard to tell,in a way it looks like a flower anemone.

Most likely a majano

Maybe Xenia?

Most likely a majano

+1 given the size and the shape of the tentacles I would say it's a Majano as well.

Thanks for all your replies.
The colour is like a xenia but it immediately held on to the rock when i placed it on one and the tentacles look different.
Anyway, I took it out to be on the safe side, didn't want to risk a majano infestation.
