What is this?

Im thinking this is a ball tip anemone. Although, Im unsure. From what I've read people say they are not a problem and dont overtake your tank. I started seeing one of these, then two, then three. Now Im well over a dozen of them and quickly approaching 2 dozen of them in my 34 gallon tank. They are small, the largest being about the size of a dime. Is it anything to be concerned about??? Sorry for the bad picture, I only had my phone available. Thanks for the help.

My guess would be a Ball-Tipped Anemone as well. A Hidden Cup coral is another possibility though.

Yes that's a ball anemone.

I'll try to get a better pic of it.

If it is a ball tip anemone, is it common for there to be so many of them and should I try to get rid of them?

some call it ball anenome/cup coral/strawberry anenome

In general you can just leave it be.. If it starts bothering something then remove it.. But it more than likely won't..
