From what I understand it is an anemone with a vicious sting

I found another one and i believe they are gonna have to come out...im pretty sure they are pseudocorynactis (or however you spell it) and in that case multiply by fission and when large enough pack a powerful sting and will catch and eat your fish, and if im not mistaken they are soft corals not anemones...does anyone no for certain that they are something else? I would like to keep them but i will not if they are any danger to my fish or my condy

Its a Strawberry Nem and should be removed from your tank. They multiply, but don't overtake your tank like normal Aiptasia will do. You would kill it like you would any other Aiptasia.
