Doesn't look like a pest anemone. I'd let it live for sure.

Does it glow under blues? Can you see the base of it is it soft or hard? Any better pics of it?

Sure looks like a ball tip to me in the first images, not a hitch-hiker I would be overly concerned over.

It may be a ball tip it really opened up today, And I noticed next to it and there are two more starting to grow. Those things are pretty dangerous when they get bigger aren't they?

They do not get much larger than the one you already have and they do not host clown fish. In the typical reef tank with controlled nutrients ball tips are not much of a concern. It's not very often that I have seen them become invasive.

I have several of these in my tank. There's one that rides around on the back of a snail and several the size of a 50 cent piece
