Zoa or anemone?

At first I thought these were zoas, as they didn't appear to be aiptasias. But upon closer inspection (and poking), they retract like an anemone. I hadn't really noticed them until my new light really made them glow. They are about the size of a button and smaller.
Any ideas?

what kind of camera did you use? cause that's exactly what mine look like today, but icouldnt get nearly as close up.

Canon Rebel XT. Then photoshop to crop.
 
I have two of these in my tank. They came in on some rock. I had no idea what it was. I actually thought it was pretty. I heard that "manjo" was a pest. Will it spread? How do I ger rid of it?
 
Anemonia majano.

Definitely a pest - time to get 'em out of there!

Working on removing them. I've been using Lugol's injected into the tissue. It's worked for the few aiptasias over the years, but I might have to look for the "Juice" as some of the smaller majones are popping back up (might not have gotten to the tissue as they are pretty small).
