    A search for aiptasia will give you lots of options for dealing with that anemone

    do the peppermint shrimp really work on the aptasia? -They do on small ones... And you need quite a few, upwards to 1 per 10 gals if not more. Also you need lysmata wurdmanni shrimp often mistaken or mislabled.

    That is not a majano, compared to pics i found online. I was told it might be a sponge, but I don't know. It is fuzzy, not tentacle-y
