Can you ID this anemone?

I have a few of these anemones on a piece of live rock. They seem to be multiplying so I am starting to get concerned. THey are very tiny right now. They have a pinkish base and translucent tentacles that end in a white bulb. They seem to be able to extend the tentacles pretty far. My peppermints avoid them and I actually saw one get stung by one today. Its in the center of the picture.

Hmmm, I cant really tell from the picture, almost loos like a feather duster, pretty
 
Corynactis sp. It's actually a corallimorph, so it's related to ricordea, mushrooms, and the like. Mine reproduce like nuts, but are never bothersome. They just fill some of the small, hidden crevices in the live rock. See this article:

I had a problem with them a year or so ago. Joe's Juice was the answer. Had to use it several times cause the little buggers grow everywhere, including between rocks.

Where or not they are good or bad, they multiply like crazy.

Thanks,
Mine seem to be reproducing like crazy as well. I might just let them live on the one rock theyre on and kill any that appear elsewhere
