Bought a frag from a local reefer and noticed it had some baby nems on the rock. He said most likely bubble tips since he had those in the tank the rock came from but i'm not sure. Maybe an Orange Nem? Just want to make sure its not a pest.

Common name Ball Anemone, though it is not actually an anemone, but taxonomically very close. Not generally considered safe for fish or many inverts. I have no actual experience with them thought, just got this info online. Did a night snorkel once off Andros Island, Bahamas. Saw lots of Red Ball Anemones.
 
Apparently big enough to eat fish...was just talking about this with a local guy. I learned something new today.
