That green thing is an majano anemone. They are considered pests. I know some people that put them in a species tank, they may be pest but they are nice looking pests.
I have a pom pom crab too, mine is a female, I know this because she had a clutch of eggs months ago. I wish I could find her a male.
Here is a picture of my pom pom crab climbing all over my red grape algae.
She does this often and she takes mysis shrimp from the feeding tongs around feeding time.

can any confirm? i have seen pics online of majano anemones and this doesn't look like them completely, but then again i've never seen one in person! they are for the most part on the same little one pound rock and i would be able to remove them. just wanna make sure i should be removing them first! thanks for the id seatrueblue!

Are you going to kill it?:( Those are the pretty majanos/tulip anemones. I don't think they spread nearly as fast. Here are some links to the majano anemones that look like yours.

i'm not yet sure if i'm going to kill them, they're all on one rock so they can easily be removed. i've heard many people purposely put these in their tank because they're so beautiful. but my tank isn't big enough for something like that i think. they multiply and it probably wouldn't be bad if i had a huge tank... who knows though i might keep them. they are REALLY nice looking, and my girlfriend loves them. the one thing i've read after researching them, which i see them called "tulip anemones" on wetwebmedia, who also say that if you have pristine water condition they should be no problem whatsoever, is that they aren't anywhere near as much of a pest as majanos.
