How to remove it

look like some sort of paly. If its a paly, it is poisonous, dont break it, the poison it release is quite potent. Dont let it enter ur bloodstream tru any open wounds. You can leave it, but it grows fairly fast, and may overtake ur rock.

These are AIPTASIA! They are pest anemone, rid them ASAP before they overwhelm your tank. Check out the below links for more info:

With my many personal battles with them - now I will remove the entire rock whenever I see them! Scary little fellas!

aiptasia meh? looks more like palys. anyway, u can should just remove all. if its palys, just take scissors and cut it off at the base. carenot not to et it come in contact with ur skin/eyes. POISONOUS! sometimes can squirt water. careful ur eyes. if its aiptasia, cut no use. will grow back/ suggest u use either peppermint shrimps, or copperband butterflyfish to eat it. Best is to use biological control, to eat the aiptasia. No choice then use chemicals.
