not the best of pics but the creature in the middle has been on the rock since the day i bought it started with just the one that was small and now it has grown to the large size over the last 2 months and i have also noticed at least 8 more growing all over the rock it seems to catch things with its "arms" and bring them to the middle of the body it is sort of a light brown almost clear with a few white bands around the arms almost like growth rings anyone know what this may be.

That my friend is the problem. If left unchecked (read killed, annihilated, zapped into the unknown reaches of the universe, nuked) the will as you have seen quickly take over your tank. They have an incredibly potent sting and are not to be trusted.
