Thnx for ur help... Should i remove it with my hands or does it sting or what?

Put the word "aiptasia" in the search below... It'll walk you through a lot of ways to rid your tank of the nuisence.

Dont manually remove it. That will do more harm than good. Those things spread like crazy. Any little bit left will grow into a new one.
If you have any kalkwasser, make a paste of that with some tank water. Then feed it a tiny blob of it with a small syringe or something. It will take it up as if its food, then melt away.
There are other methods of removal (ie: joes juice, epoxy, etc), do a search on the forum or google for more info.
