Hi,

That is an aptasia anemone. It is considered an invasive pest. I would remove the rock and cover the aptasia with superglue

That is aiptaisa do not kill it by pulling it off it will spawn crazy amounts more.

Buy some aiptasia-x by Red Sea and constantly treat this its a pest.

Aipstasia, remove it. You there's a ton of different methods just search the name

I see 2 in the photo. Possibly more.

If you can take the frag out the tank and scrape it off outside the tank in a container and scrubit good so nothing is left absolutely nothing it can and will get out of control in the tank.

quick update, I tried to kill the pests with a lemon juice injection, seems to work. The Aipstasia shriveled and turned dark in color, now I will inspect in a few days and remove the dead Aipstasia from the tank. Thank you all.
