    they are a small anemone , that have a powerful sting and propogate very quickly

    they then turn up in all the wrong places and the corals you do want, get stung , and spend a lot of time closed up as a result

    they are bad news, the 1st one is an amusing and pleasing find on yoru live rock, but they soon lose their novelty value

    You've got a couple mojanos in picture 3. You'll want to zap those before they get out of control. Research various methods of killing aptasia and mojanos.
