Aispastia? or Anenome?

I saw this while I was fishing so I put it in the bucket just in case it was valuable. haha
Now im worried it could be a pest:/
Can someone tell my exactly what it is and if I should keep it?

It is an anemone...of what kind who knows. You shouldn't be scooping up random creatures and throwing them in your tank. Florida has laws around that. And this isn't even putting into effect you don't know what it takes to keep your mystery anemone alive...

I thought it was a mushroom coral wrapped up since it was in the surf and storms have been stirring the waters lately... it was on a piece of driftwood with barnacles tossing in the waves.
And if it is an Anemone as u say do I need to relocate it?

Yes, back into the ocean.

Yes, back into the ocean.

Well why do I have to get rid of it?

 

[Sniperhank]

Because you don't know what it is, you don't know what it eats, you don't know how to take care of it...oh, and it is illegal to take creatures like that out of the ocean in Florida.

Thanks Hank (ur a little rough though? )

Trust me, the law is rougher...some of the laws regulating these things can lead to federal time. They aren't messing around.
