ID , maybe free range Anemone?

[StirCrayzy]

This anemone looking creature appeared in a very obvious location, about a month ago, seems attached, though it must shrivel to nothing for some# of days, before i notice again in the same spot. looks healthy and harmless, but of course i would like opinions.
Note to the right, a small encrusting tube snail. recently out of the sand.

looks like a corallimorph, like a strawberry anemone.

Looks like an Orange ball anemone to me .......

It does look like some type of ball anemone - Corynactis or Pseudocorynactis. Near the bottom of this page:

Yep white ball corillamorph varitey i'd say! I have 5 and they seem harmless.

Thanks to all for the time, I wonder next month when i introduce my clown pair, if they will discover it.
I imagine that would not go well unless the nem grows substantially by then.
A good find nonetheless, definately a keeper.

 

[NanoGeek13]

Feed them twice a week and they'll grow well, I haven't heard of one getting bigger than a silver dollar but not much is known about keeping them from what I have read. Maybe someone else that has personal exp with them can chime in as mine came as hitchhikers as well and my tank is just cycled.

Are they breeding?

 

[Blndbunny]

I have 4 or 5 in my tank, they don't seem to bother anyone or anything

 

[StirCrayzy]

Are they breeding?

Um, Nems dont really breed, they just split into 2, so its odd to me to find 1.
This is the first one i have ever seen in my tank, and i havent added new rock in 2 years.

I just noticed Orange Ball Anemone # 2, only about the size of a pencil eraser, right next to the original.:bouncer::bouncer::bouncer::bouncer::bouncer::bouncer::bouncer::bouncer::bouncer:
