Noticed it a day or two ago and it has only gotten bigger since. It is growing on the base of a polyp and is slightly red in the middle followed by some green and very small translucent arms that end in a tiny white ball. It it tough to see and photograph but it is on the leftmost polyp around the base, you can see the small white dots near the plug and you can follow them back to the main body. Excuse the little diy plugs, I ran out of real ones and needed to make something quickly with what I had on hand. I included pictures under white and blue light. Is it possibly very small aptasia?

agree manjano,should be easy to take off base of polyp
 
I removed it about 15 minutes ago, I was able to remove it from the polyp without too much trouble. As this is a new tank I don't want to risk anything so I scraped and flushed it, it came off without too much trouble.

Although I do agree it does look more similar, in person, to a ball anemone.
