Hey I posted this in the other newbie forum too.. I need help

The stuff on top I just added I got it off of the peir I was fishing at growing atached to the support its orange looks kinda pretty.... I think some sort of algea.. maybe the crabs will eat it.. they been looking at it pretty hard.. it is very vibrant orange.. also in the right corner of the rock it is very hard to see in any pictures I take is a anemone I just found out of no where.. within about a week it has grown to a visable size.. I think it was in the oyster rock when I first put it in the tank. It has a long body planted on the bottom side of the rock about the exact size of my thumb.. it is light brown and has darker brown bands around it... the tenticle looking part looks clear and started really small looks like it is about 1/4-1/2inch long now.. seems like two rows in a circle.. at the middle I see an opening that is darker brown to black color.. someitmes feeding sometimes closed off...

is this aiptesia.. if so.. why do people hate them.. its kinda neat... if i shine light directly on it with a flash light it can actualy either dig down deeper and retreat or it is physicaly shrinkin before my eyes.. I mean really quick... crabs don't bother it.. they hang out right next to it
