I’ve asked about this before but it’s bigger now and I’m almost certain it’s a ball anemone. It doesn’t bother me at all, should I be concerned?

Yes- Ball.
Actually named Corallimorpharia, they look like sea anemones but are a different group of creature. Like anemones they have a big oral disk and tentacles like appendages distributed all over it. The oral disk passes into a narrow body, at the end of which is a foot. The main identifiable ball anemones come in a variety of colorations with the white-tipped ones being the most commonly observed in the reef tank.
They are commonly mistaken for Majano anemones and many aquarists treat them like pest anemones, they pose no real threat to the aquarium other than thriving in it.

That is a ball anemone. (Actually a mushroom) I have a few in my tanks and luckily they are not like aiptaisa in any way.
They can multiply, but not to plague proportions.
Looks like a ball to me. Not my pic btw
Edit: if it is a ball . I read they are safe to keep. GL!
