    It looks like a Majano Anemone to me... Hard to tell from those pics, heres a better pic of one. Does it look like this?

    If it does, you will want to get rid of it ASAP. They multiply like rabbits.

    I have a couple of these in my 20g. Yesterday I noticed one of my peppermint shrimp was all over it.

    It looks to fat to be aptasia and the arms are to thin to be a Manajo -it could be a polyp of some type - try to get a picure of it in better light
