Looks like a clove polyp of some sort. Generally not considered a pest.

If left unchecked, it can easily overgrow your entire tank. I consider it to be an invasive pest and act accordingly.

Thank you guys so no need to worry about it !
I'm not sure that I would say that...

Honestly though, no coral grows so fast that a proactive reefer can't keep them under control

That depends on just how proactive you want to be. I prefer a tank that is more hands-off. I feed daily (usually), top off as needed, and do water changes every 6 weeks or so.
