Hello everyone,
So I have noticed something on my rock that I’m at a loss to ID. Almost looks like a little aiptasia with clear tentacles starting to grow however has neon green dots in center. I first noticed in a crater on my rock and now see it on a separate rock (not attached) and also on a frag plug (again different area of tank). please excuse poor video quality using iPhone with blues on. Any advice appreciated thank you

That is a ball anemone. Harmless. They’re actually a type of mushroom coral.
 
It’s probably Majano. It’s a pest anemone that kinda looks like a small green bta
Thank you for reply, I looked it up will watch it but agree with jbissell below looks more like ball anemone thankfully, really trying to keep pests out as best I can
