Its aptasia. Do Not dig it out- will cause more aptasia to form.
Using a syringe, inject either, lemon juice or Preferably kalk powder mixed into a thin paste and inject into center core of aptasia and it will melt away

No need to remove. Inject aptasia and walk away. They'll melt down immediately
