Zoanthid or palythoa. A kind of soft coral that grows quickly (not as quickly as a kenya tree of course) and has a potent toxin that is released when the coral is damaged. Handle it with care and do not cut them or try manual removal, and make sure to wash your hands after touching them. Other than that they are harmless to the aquarium
