Appreciate ID on this polyp/anemone thing

Got a little pulse coral colony yesterday for the new tank and this brown/orange thing opened up in the middle today. Its not a majano variant by any chance? Good or bad?

I’d say a palyotha myself.. doesn’t look like a nem.

+1 on paly/zoa.

Thanks . Just didn’t want an aiptasia/majano type battle ahead. Can live with one of those. I’ve mostly seen the more multicoloured types so far. As long as I assume they could be toxic all is fine I guess

That definitely fits the bill having googled them, thanks . I also note “do not handle without gloves” erm …I didn’t know I had it at the time I put the frag in. Oh well, lived to tell the tale

Green Button Polyp Colony*

Button polyps are hardy, can spread relatively quickly and are generally fun to keep. Moderate turbulent flow to stronger turbulent flow will be fine for these guys. They tend to become more compact...

Fast grower/invasive/immortal ... keep them alone on a rock.

Judging by the fact it's on a XENIA frag the paly should be the least of your problems lol

I did consider that issue. I quite like Xenia, hope was it would not be TOO invasive.
