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.
