Ice giant moons are theoretically possible if the parent planet is big enough. Kepler-1625b I, for example, is about Neptune's mass and orbits a planet with several Jupiter-masses.

As for this Stellaris system? There's a known issue where the use of "rl_unhabitable_normal" in scripting an uninhabited planet produces gas giants or Infested Worlds where they wouldn't normally occur. Better to use "random_non_colonizable" instead.
It looks a little like they were orbiting a brown dwarf, which would certainly be big enough, but it looks like it's in a "planet" slot, whereas I think Stellaris technically considers them stars.
 
Hello, Lost & Found office?

I'd like to report a lost ring.

(When you turn a planet into a Gigastructural Engineering Behemoth Planetcraft, the planet's rings remain in orbit.)

Pretty sure it's a Molten World, not a brown dwarf.

OK then, I got a toxic world that's a terraforming candidate.

admittedly that's something that should be in the game already, as removing a planets worth of toxic chemicals is nothing compared to some of the late game stuff, i'm not saying that all toxic worlds should be terraforming candidates but i think that it should be something you see every now and then

There is in general too few terraforming candidates in the galaxy. IMO they should be even more common than habitable planets.

Never seen this before. These Democratic Crusaders sure can a lot at diplomacy. They had been pissing off the Keepers of Knowledge for like a century, regularly being humiliated, and regularly using the ensuing truce to invade me. Then we decided to settle their case once for all, and as they were engaged in war against my fed...

Can we call this a reversed War in Heavens?

Too few? They're the most spammy and common anomaly in the game.

wow... that's actually an almost intelligent decision, using the fe as an impassable fortress. it's obviously unintentional but it's amazing to see the ai do something somewhat smart.

They shouldn't be anomalies to begin with, just a normal planet modifier that appears on Barren and Toxic worlds from time to time.

Lucky you I guess. Last time I played in my 1/4 galaxy size empire I had just two of those.

Yes, this was amusing by itself, but they ultimately made it too far. Pissing two Fallen Empires off at the same time (I'm not pretending they came after the fanatic spiritualist Guardians in the NE only to better invade me there too) resulted into being invaded by both of them in two separate Humiliation wars. The second screenshot was taken just prior one of their last fleets got vaporized by a combined fleet of fanatic materialists and fanatic spiritualists!

This empire was second in points after mine before this last war. Now, they've been calmed down and share our ethics. Oddly enough, the claims over the materialist FE haven't been reset when they changed their regime.

this is the sort of behavior that makes me play with ai mods

The terraforming candidate anomaly is actually quite rare. But it can be repeated.
Most anomalies can only fire once.
So, if the galaxy is large and you get to explore much of it, you'll see many terraforming candidates in the end. However, there will be nearly none pf the, before the other anomalies run out. It is noticeable, when big areas only become accessible after jump drives, suddenly there is a cluster of candidates.
