Aiptasia. Pest anenome. I would remove the rock it is on and scrape it completely off the rock.

Yup, Aptasia.

You've got two choices. Ignore it... you'll have a tank full of them in no time, or KILL THEM... NOW.

Agreed with everyone else lol. It's Aptasia. A pest anemone that usually makes its way in on live rock or a frag. Best way to get rid of it is to pull the rock, scrape it off, and put superglue or epoxy over the spot as if there is any bits left over, it can grow back.

Don't freak out. Most people end up with some here and there. In fact, I don't know anybody that hasn't.
