This is growing in my tank, it was about 1/2 this size 3 weeks ago. Any help is greatly appreciated

Looks like a sad zoa or shroom to me.

+1 to this. Aiptasia typically has long tentacles around the top/mouth and this doesn't seem to have any tentacles period.

It’s definitely a hitchhiker. It’s located on the “underside “ of the candy and looks to be looking for a light source. Thinking I should rotated it up?

Yeah…just…be careful. some soft coral freebies can quickly grow to plague proportions…you may want to isolate it and see what grows. should be easy to snip a tiny bit of the candy cane skeleton off and glue it to a frag plug.
