Need help identifying new growth...

[lvtofish]

I have some new items growing in my tank and have no idea what they are. I have a small stalk of xenia and so far it has not multiplied. These really don't look like xenia. They act like an anemones. When I feed the other 3 anemones, they grab the left over shrimp and eat it like the others. Please let me know what you think they are so I can either get rid of them or keep them!

Looks like aiptasia. Pest anemone that you definitely want to get rid of. Try using a turkey baster with really hot water and spraying it or get a bottle of Joe's Juice. I hear that stuff works well.

Looks like I need to try and get rid of it asap!! Any suggestions on the one really close to the "good" anemone?
