I'm no expert, but it looks like aiptasia.
Kind of looks like a small warty sea nem. At least the tentacles do. Check the link below and compare to the pics for the nems shown. I collect nems and other things (legally) in Florida and use this guide a lot.I can’t find a ball anemone pic that looks like it.

Do you think it lost its color during shipment? I’ve put it under good lights and it stretches out and I see bright green specks. What about the 2nd specimen? Is that a anemone or a mini brittle star ?

Fishy, do you feel it’s safe to leave in a reef/fish setup? That’s what I thought it was but wanted to get another opinion. Started seeing brittle stars with sand strips. Arms were real active. Do you have a guess on the 1st one?

It is one of the pest anemone. Aptasia. Aptasia does come from Atlantic water too. A lot in Corpus Christi bay.

I'm no expert, so I don't know where aiptasia come from in terms of geography. But to my understanding, that looks like an aiptasia, and even if it isn't it's probably sufficiently similar to an aiptasia that it reproduces like an aiptasia and is therefore a pest. Idk what the one in the glass vial is, I would go with what the others have said on that one.
My guess would be Atpasis or some kind of glass anemone. Or a majano?
So to me I t looks like it has to go lol. But I’m
No expert, just my personal thoughts. Good luck and happy reefing!

The photos is post #5 is aiptasia without any doubt.
All of my tanks are kept at ideal parameters for the growth of anemones, that unfortunately includes the growth of aiptasia. I use to kill them with aiptasia x but now I don’t even touch them and they stay under control.
