They're cool, so I'm okay with it, but they'd easily qualify as a scourge.

My anemones started out as a couple of innocent little things. At first I thought they were cool, as they were not aiptasia. Aiptasia are slender funnel shaped and semi transparent with delicate tentacles. Majano are button shaped with more stubby bi-colored tentacles. Aiptasia will spread quickly from small pieces if you disturb them but die easily from injection. Majano divide readily but do not spread from pieces, They are resilient against injection. If you think you have majano I would get rid of them asap.
The little tubeworms stay in dark placed in my tank, like in the plumbing.
