aiptasia & majano anemone..

They normally treat as hitchhikers or Pest anemones....

Since yr rock is new, u can soak the rock with boil water. Or Zap with Joe's Juice or kalkwasser...

Long term if u still seeing them... can try Peppermint Shrimp or copperband Butterfly when tank getting stable and not convenient to remove yr rock...

Some bro using Berghia nudibranchs to consume them alternatively.. U can pass the nudibranchs to others after fixing...

Cheers...

To me.. they r bad.. Will sting near by corals in long term.. They do move and propagate fast.... but some reefer keep them in sump and refugium to control nutrient... So, depends... Cheers...

Over time, it'll spread all over your tank & sting your corals. Big ones may even be a threat to small fish.

Cycling takes at least 1 whole month. Be patient.

May be Zap with Joe's Juice, Lemonade or kalkwasser first...Long term wise... I propose using peppermint shrimp.. hardier.. Cheers.

Cheaper alternative is to sun your rocks or just air dry your rocks for a month
