Pseudocorynactis - bad?

[twhaddon]

I noticed a few small sea anemone like things growing on some of my rock. After looking at many pics have determined it is a Pseudocorynactis.
I have read that that some people like to have them and some think you should get rid of them. I'm not sure what to do. I heard they can kill small fish under 2 inches.

What opinions are in this group?

Might be difficult for others to identify the anemone in the pic but I have had them and I can see it, clear with white ball-shaped tips. They are harmless IME.

I had a few of those a long time ago I didn't want to see them go just because it was cool .
Some of them were orange balled .
They do sting coral and fish unfortunately and I'm unaware of a natural predator that eats them.
I think I shot mine full of lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide with a syringe or perhaps I used aiptasia x either one will kill it.

i used to have one as well i believe its commonly called a strawberry nem. i went ahead and killed mine because i didint want to risk it spreading and stinging my fish or coral

Thanks everyone. They are actually pretty cool looking so I think I will keep them for now, but my Aiptasia X will be ready just in case.
