What is It!

I found these things on the rocks. They literally look like tiny clear bubble tip anemones with a white dot at the end almost like a frogspawn. They have a stalk like the aiptasias but not as big. They don't look like the majano anemones in my mothers tank because there clear. They seem nocturnal. I cant get a picture of them they are way to small. I dont know if there baby aiptasias or if they are majano or if there some kind of worm? anyone have any clue?

Do a search for orange ball corallimorphs, sounds like what you're describing. They're not bad rather take up residence in shaded areas and nocturnal. HTH.

that actually looks exactly like what we have but the tips on ours are white thanks you a HUGE help I was getting really worried. I was actually just informed by my husband that they do have an orange base. We looked them up as you said they say that they need to be fed. Are they safe to have if so I will feed them and see what happens

There are also forms or species that have white tips.

I've heard people say that they can spread. I've also heard that they can sting. Lots of people have stinging corals in their tanks, though, and lots of people have corals that grow and/or spread. So I think it is up to you. Do you like it? Is there anything delicate in the tank? If you already have more than one and they have been doing okay without feeding, you may want to leave them as is and observe. If they start to spread without feedings, then you may want to remove them.

I've never had or ever heard of anyone having a problem with these things (pseudocorynactis). I'd just leave 'em be and enjoy a little more diversity in your tank.
