I don't think that's a BTA. It doesn't look like a BTA at all. My guess would either be aiptasia or majano. Both are pests.
 
yep looked up some references confirmed its a majano. ill work on getting rid of it soon. will a pep eat it? mine vanished but i wanted a fire shrimp or skunk cleaner instead...
 
balls.... haha will aiptasia-x hurt any of my corals? or my clam?
can i just cut the anem out with a razor or will that makeit worse haha
 
You actually shoot the aptasia X into the mouth of the pest nem. It is a spot treatment so it doesnt get into anything else. Cutting it with a razor would cause it to spread faster.
 
Yeah and you'll be lucky if you can even get to it with a razor. It will retract back into the rock before you even have a chance. Aiptasia X is safe. Don't squirt it directly on your corals or clam, and they will be fine. It's even fine if you get some floating around in the water.
