Looks like some ball anemones - should be harmless.

Edit: More info from one of my other posts:
That's a Corallimorph (taxonomic family Corallimorphidae)/Ball Anemone - despite the name, they're actually related to (and could be considered to be a kind of) soft mushroom corals.

They're generally harmless, though some species can spread enough to cause issues.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
