Looks like aiptasia. You will want to get rid of them before too long!

It looks like a pest anemone to me. One way to confirm this is by touching it with something. If it pull back fully into the rock, it's a pest so you'd want to get rid of it.

Aiptasia are not a big deal..."whoop it" and don't look back. You'll probably have one pop up here and there, no worry!

Looks more like majano than aiptasia to me. Still a pest but more dangerous.

Have to agree with Mike, looks like a manjano anemone to me. They spread and sting everything. Zap it!!

I have something like this but it only comes out of its hole after the lights go off. It has a long stem on it as well. Still think it's a bad thing?
