    Still worried

    I'm still concerned about this creature. Every rock it has been at now has a similar smaller creature. Is this thing safe? Should I get rid of them?

    I'm starting to think it's an anemone if it's dropping "babies" everywhere.

    Ya know, after seeing a few pics after Googling that name, that's not a bad guess. I only wish I knew more about anemones to positively ID it
