These are generally called ball anemones. The little ones (like the one in the picture) don't cause any problems but there are some large species that will eat fish. These are not true anemones (Order Actiniaria) but are corallimorphs (Order/Family Corallimorpharia).
Here's an article about them.
 
Definitely ball anemone… I actually really like them. They will grow in the most random of places and even in complete shade. They don’t seem to bother anything too much.
