Aiptasia X, F-Aiptasia. There are some DIY homebrew recipes as well. They are anemones and can propagate quickly. Do a search for its removal and you will find tons of info.
Good luck and happy killing!!!

There is many ways, and all have pro and cons. The biggest mistake imo is trying to scrape it off, or other manual removal. It will just spread and multiple, ending in a tank full. I kicked my tank full, I mean full! With peppermint shrimp. I tried Limon juice, kalk, glue and it just spread. I got nudibranch but was too slow. Purchased a copper band butterfly fish, never touched my aiptasia. He did turn into one of my favorite fish though. Then I purchased the shrimp problem solved. This is my experience..... You must steady the issue and decide what is best for you
That's a nice one 
I have a few larger ones that I just ignore. It seemed like everytime in tried killing them off they spread. I ignore them and they don't seem to spread. I even have a pet one in a sump that I feed. Now I know why they are called glass anemone. When fed you can see the food travel down inside them. Is actually cool to watch.
