Is this an anemone?

Is this an anemone? If yes, what kind, if no than what is it. It is about
a half inch in size and there are at least five in my tank.

these are small pictures but I have them too and I have been told that they are tulip anemones. I could be wrong but I have been told that they dont harm anything in the aquarium.

Thanks,
I think they are really pretty looking, just wasn't sure if they were gonna cause me problems. There definetly low maintenance!

it's a tulip anemone, related to majanos, but keep in mind that they can spread very quickly and overrun a tank sometimes, and they can and will sting your corals as they crowd them out, they work great in nanos for some people though, I guess it all comes down to personal preference

I've herd they dont sting ???

do they really sting ?

 

[wesly2006]

I dont think they do sting but they do multiply quickly in some tanks.
