Aipstasia! It's a very fast reproducing anenome that will take over your tank if you don't do something about it!
Throw a few peppermint shrimp in there. They'll eat it right up.

those aren't aptaisia, they are a form of a majano anemone (pest anemone). i have some that look exactly like that. when i first got the rock they came in on, there were two small ones, now there are 12 in my tank. i have heard kalkwasser paste will kill them, i have tried squirting boiling water at them, but they just came back.

Peppermint shrimp will not eat those aptasia. Only butterfly fish will. Take the rock to a store that has butterfly fish ans ask if you can please leave it a few days. Peppermint shrimp will eat glass aptasia.
