Usually the sting from that species is fatal and isn't noticed until several hours later. It starts as a cold sweat and.... Haha jk! Looks lime a baby anemone of some sort

Yep. They're pretty, but can be invasive and will sting other corals. Joe's Juice works on them IME.

The above posts are correct, it is an orange (or white)ball anemone, the thing is it isn't an anemone, it is a corallamorph. While they can and will reproduce in tanks they usually aren't invasive as they are strongly nocternal as adults (juvs will open until a certian size) and don't get enough food in our tanks to become a nuisance, unless you have a lot of nocternal feeding animals that you add food to. I've kept them on several occasions and love to see them in my tanks, especially when they have orange tips.
