Hard to see from the pic. If it is, nothing a peppermint shrimp won't make short work of.
 
First pic is too blurry for diagnosis.
In the second pic, the small tentacles could be an aiptasia, but I'm not 100% convinced.

You could always feed it a tiny bit of Aiptasia X or Joe's Juice, if you don't have a peppermint shrimp. :)
 
Looks like aiptasia to me but I can barely make it out. Those pics are pretty blurry to make out any detail. At least from my perspective anyway
 
looks like the frag can be taken out. pull it out slowly so that you don't tear/damage any polyp and clean the growth area with Hydrogen peroxide.
