Aptasia. Some can be nice, but it is a pest and will overrun your tank if you don't keep after it.

So unless you are committed to your husbandry, I'd pull it.

It is unwanted, a pest. It will irritate other corals and can multiply very quickly. You want to get rid of them.

Searching here will lead to all kinds of advice.

Pull the rock and scrub it off. Rinse in old tank water.
