Anemones? Something else?

It would be fantastic if you scooped one out and got a few pictures of it in some water in a container.

They're definitely cool! Would they be considered a pest? Can't be as bad as some of the more notorious pest species....after all, you can just pull them out of the sand, right? Kind of like cleaning a litter box.

Bahahahahahahahaha

I would totally leave them be to see what they'll do. The problem with aiptasia is they are next to impossible to get out and when you restrict their food, they use your light for energy. It looks like these guys don't utilize light and they are easy to pluck them out.
