Anyone know what this is? Crossing my fingers it isn’t a pest, but I don’t like the looks of it.

Thank you!

Looks most like a free zoa or paly. But maybe it’ll open in a healthier manner to help rule out other possibilities.

I'm leaning towards it being a paly

Zoanthid.

It's only a "pest" if you don't like how it looks

Thank you everyone.

So only potential death for the aquarist? No big deal. Jk

But really though, is the palytoxin a problem? Or do most ignore it? Handle with care? Etc.
