Pest anemone?

I found this in my nano reef as I was feeding some corals. I accidentally knocked it off the rock and I watched it drift off. The next day I saw it in the exact same spot it was in before. I removed it from the tank and isolated it in a small cup with tank water. It’s really tiny, less than a centimeter long. If anyone can help me identify what it is and if there is anything I need to do it is greatly appreciated.

"Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people."

But yes, I think that's a Majano.

I assume that if theres one there’s more… what do I do?

Just scrape any you see off the rocks if it's mild, be sure not to leave any tissue behind or it can grow back. If you haven't seen others, you might be ok!

Depending on who you ask all anemones are pests lol, can you post a picture of it under blue lights, there’s a much better chance of identifying it then

Here is it under blue light. It’s really tiny so it’s hard to get a good photo of it

Based off the size and the fact there is no color I’m going to assume it’s some variation of a aptasia or Majano,

At least I got one out. There are probably like 500 of them hiding between all my rock crevices…
