What are these bumps?

Hey guys do you know what these bumps are on my anemone shaft? I googled it and let’s just say the pics had nothing to do with anemones

Years ago I ordered a purple based BTA from Diver's Den and it came in with a bump like that on the column. It went away in a week or so and I still have that anemone (and several clones). I assumed it was some type of injury. In my case, time took care of it. BTAs do rarely bud; however, from the pic that doesn't look like what's happening. If it were me, I'd just leave it alone for the time being and see if it goes away.

Looks like something was biting or picking at it. Do you have any fish or inverts that might be doing it?
