Aiptasia or something else ?

Spotted this lurking at the back of my tank any ideas what it is? It’s very small at the moment but not sure what to do about it!

I have a blue leg hermit who either hasn’t found it or isn’t bothered what method would you use if this tiny? Not sure if I’d manage using a needle!

Kalkwasser squirt, or get some F Aiptasia.

Take some vinegar heat it up to boiling. Squirt the thing. Do this a few times over a few hours. Then if you have it cover it with some super glue.
Then make an offering to the reef gods and hope you only have this one

If it’s on the glass, a hose with siphon might be best. The chemical methods do best on horizontal surfaces. If it were my tank I would make sure to have a peppermint shrimp. If there’s one aiptasia, I bet there’s a lot more coming down the road.
