Help ID and Possible Care...


Hey All,
I have this 'polyp' in my tank which I believe is a pink zoanthid. I read on another post that a similar organism could be a cup coral but I don't think that's it in my case.

The body is cylindrical and pink. There is an opening at the top with small tentacles. Under the actinics, the ring just inside the tentacles glows green. I have attached crappy pictures from my phone taken with a magnifying glass. Any guesses? Good or bad? How to care for it if its good?
Thanks!!!!

Sorry for the poor quality pictures.

Dang, I can't tell from the pic.

Could it possibly be a majano anemone?

Hmm... I guess I should wait it out a bit more. If it's a majano, what would be the best course of action to rid of it?

Joes's Juice or a chisel, depending on how difficult it is to get to the rock.

Any thoughts on lemon juice/pickling lime?
