Anemone ID please
Just saw these for the first time today in my sump. I've had the rock for years, and have never seen one anywhere in my system. I'm fairly sure its a anemone, but could be wrong. Doesnt look like aiptasia of mojano. Best photos I could get without disturbing them.

Semi pest anemone. They can sting coral if they touch.
I would zap it if it were me. I used to have orange ball nems all over my old 100g. Pesky little boogers. The one you have is a ball nem but I forget the exact name.

It's a Pseudocorynactis. Has a similar appearance to an anemone but is actually part of the Corallimorphidae family.

 Although they can become pests because of a potential population explosion, I would just keep an eye on it for now. They are nocturnal, so take a look a couple hours after lights out to look for more. A red lens will keep them from reacting to the light.
