Will the coral eat fish cause this thing will take in a whole silverside without any hesitation. Also the foot and disk look very simuler the th bubble tip but each tentacle looks like a colt coral

No, it would not. I can't get a good look at it from the picture. May be above my pay grade.

Hell's fire anemone.a toxic type of anemone that resembles a soft coral.Keep with caution,..one of the scientific name comes to mind is Actinodendron glomeratum.

Definitely Actinodendron sp., nailed it. That's probably one that should be properly identified when sold :P.

It should always be identified as such (highly toxis anemone) by retailers...
Good luck with it and be carefully what you place in the same tank.
