Ball tip Anemone. They can spread a little bit, I had a few in my tank. They weren't that invasive and overtime disappeared.

Yes, it's a ball anemone. When I've had them, they usually opened up just at night and required target feeding to survive. My clowns never viewed them as an acceptable host.

I wouldn't bother feeding. It won't grow nice. You're thinking bubble tip.
