The first three pics look like Mojano and the last one looks like aiptasia. If I am correct, they are both bad.

The first 2 i dont know, but the third doesnt look like aptasia to me, looks more like a bubble tip , thats hungry. When bubble tips get hungry there tenticles straighten out, or when they need more light. Goodluck!!

well the have tenticles on there outswide of the disk and i think they might be pests due to the tinticle being outsie the disk and what sounds like fast regeneration, of course i am no expert and those are beatiful anenomies anways. let one of the smart people reply.

thats deffinetly a manajo but someone said there pests? i kinda like them they remind me of zoos i actually bought one of them there also know as tulip anenomes. they stay that size and split regularly in home aquariums now when was the last time you watched an anenome split they have a cool color pattern too with green and pink tips as long as you dont let them take over a tank they look kinda nice i have a few in my 7 gallon and they havent invaded on any corals yet they are on a piece of ruble in the sand bed

Those are majano anemones, easy to tell by the arrangement of tentacles

They're actually tulip anemones. In the right light - the base is flourescent green and the tips glow pink. In a small colony they're kinda pretty...
I'd suggest moving them to a rock that's an island to avoid them spreading too much.
Ask Bang Guy about them...

They are Tulip Anemone IMO, they are a very close relative of Mojano but they are not Mojano sp.
They can multiply quickly but have a rather weak sting, unlike Mojano & Aiptasia. Isolating them on a rock will not guarantee they will not spread because they are far more mobile then Mojano and can easily crawl several feet in one night. They are also very easy to remove.
I'd suggest keeping them if you like them but keep the numbers low and remove stray Anemone when you see them. You can remove them using a toothpick or bamboo skewer to lift the foot off the rock.
