Some kind of red anemone?

I bought a very nice, and large devils hand recently. But I found these two guys on it earlier on the base and I'm not exactly sure what they are, they seem to act like anemone. Their tendrils move around and seem to pop inwards when they catch some food out of the water. What are your thoughts, and is this something I should keep?

They look like majano anemone to me...a pest.

Took a look at the majano anemone and that looks dead on. Thank you very much, I would have much rather of had the Xenia's, those are just about my favorite - but - thats just my luck.

Make sure of ID before you do anything...somebody else will chime in and break the tie...I am not very good at IDing and I would hate for you to kill a good critter. Majano is easy to remove, lots easier to control than aptasia so it isn't an emergancy.
