Not sure what this could be. We have a red and a green rockflower anenome but I am not seeing much color from this new critter. Possibly some type of hydroid?

Would be easier to see with a yellow filter or white lights on. That might be an RFA baby
Here's with filter glasses. There is white light on.

Not sure other than to say when I find baby rock flower nems I usually spot them because I see a spot of color that is green or orange, the color of my adults
These don't really have color yet but the structure of them looks like baby rfa.
 
Baby RFA. Sometimes they don't have much color. Look around. I bet you have more!
 
Looks like a little rock flower to me. I find them in my tank by shutting off all the lights and you can shine a black light on the tank and the little ones just glow. But not all of them are bright in color.
 
Looks like an RFA baby to me. @jkcoral don't you get babies sometimes?

Yep. That’s a baby rock flower. If there’s one, there will be more.

Loss rates are really high on babies, but finding them and feeding them every 2-3 days with reefroids/benereef helps them grow.

And a lot of them are born and you think they might be plain or ugly, but develop their real colors as they grow. Here’s a baby of mine that started out with an orange face and gray skirt. It was born in the fall.
