Is this a “strawberry” anemone? I guess that’s a mojano? That’s what people in my area call them. Should I murder it or is it reef safe?

Does it have little white balls at the end of the tentacles? If so its probably a strawberry. Also strawberry are not light loving, usually always under coral or in the shade. Strawberry also have a red base. I have hundreds in my system, only in the light if i move a rock.
Manjano are usually brown, and like being in light

It’s a strawberry then. I had them before and that’s what dad said they were. This one is underneath a plug and has a red base with white balls on the tentacles. Are they reef safe? I only ever had like 2 and I tried my best to keep them alive but they died.
 
Ive never had issues with them. Dont seem to sting any coral, and never hurt cleanup crew. I always like them.
They do fluoresce In the center a tiny bit in blue light too.
 
Ball anemone. Due to some having cool colors, many reefers will keep them while others regard them as an aptasia.
You make that call
 
Help with identification, anemones. Purchased some live rock, these were found on em. Planning on curing the rock either way. Just wondering if they can benefit a reef tank. Thank you.
