Welcome to TRT! It is indeed an anemone, very likely a pest aptasia anemone. I'd recommend removing them before they multiply, as they pack a nasty sting and can hurt other tank inhabitants (primarily corals).

usually, which is my hesitation in a solid ID, but majano look much more like tiny bubble tip anemones, and I'm rather certain it's not one of those.
