Are the polyps dangerous?

Edit: do any of them pose any harm to my puffer? (just being there or if they are consumed?)

The anemone I would remove asap via appropriate method they will multiply quite fast. The thing on the second picture reminds me of small featherduster worms, those are beneficial. I could be wrong on the ID though.
