I admit it is beautiful, however, this is what I found on line; This Pseudocorynactis from Fiji is beautiful but not safe with fishes and adjacent invertebrates. It is a voracious eater that has powerful nematocysts in the ball-like tentacle tips. Seems a bit more than aptasia.

Just make sure your spelling is good, i guess they will OWN you if you have spelling or grammar mistakes.

I would definately keep them, they are significantly more rare than the surrounding animals, and if i can remember from scott micheals coral book(i loned it to a friend so it is not at hand to reference) im fairly sure they are a corillimorphian and as such will not be roaming around your tank like an rose anenome, while it can eat fish, so can an elephant ear mushroom and certain other mushroom corals, that pseudocrynactis polyp is very pretty and quite honestly i am jealous and wish i had my own.

i think they are gorgeouse, i was just making sure it wasn't in the aptasia catagory, the pic i posted was online though, i can't get that close to them to get good pics but i'll try to catch them open and get one of the ones in my tank

I would definately get rid of the tupil anemones, majano anenomes look pretty, but if they decide they like your tank enough, which will probably happen eventually, the explode just as fast as any aptasia outbreak, and they are more difficult to get rid of.

Just monitor their progress. If they become too agressive and spread or move too much, remove them
