i translate the text. Although not very accurate. It is as follow:

lat. name: Anemonia manjano closely. Name: Family: Actiniidae Origin: Indio Pacific max. size: 8 cm Dominance: aggressively Mini Anemone lat. name: Anemonia manjano closely.

I think they consider it a pest because it reproduce at a fast rate compare to other anemones and thus would occupied other corals territory? correct me if i am wrong..but then again even alot of english marine website never mention at all about this species?..
