No, not pretty cool lol. They are pests. They will multiply and take over your whole tank rather quickly. You will want to eradicate them really soon.

Nope. They will grow super well. You will have a huge crop if you don't intervene.

I've had a couple small ones and Blue Vet Aiptasia Control worked great. Joe's Juice and hot water are supposed to work as well. You just use a little directly on them. Like feeding them.

LOL I saw my first one last night in my tank swimming around.  I got it out pretty quick and started looking around and unfortunately have found several small colonies so I will be picking up either a bunch of peppermint shrimp or a spotted butterfly fish.  After his work is done he will probably be available to the next poor tank with tons of aptasia.

Definitely Aiptasia (Glass Anemone) and they are invasive. They can be tough to get rid of if they start to multiply.
