    I have no idea what this is, at this point it is pretty small so hard to get a good image.

    The first pic looks like button polyps.

    The second pic looks like a ball anemone.

    Clonefarmer..How do you get rid of the ball anemones? I have like 3-4 in my 29g and they seem to be getting bigger. I would like to kill them if possible. What are some ways to do it?

    The same methods that work for killing other pest anemones. Such as Aiptasia and Majano. Should also work for removing Ball anemones.
