Whats on my zoos

Anyone know what this is on the zoos I put in my tank last night? Looks kinda like an anemone. Is it aptasia? Should I remove it? It moved very quickly from the middle of the branch to the top.

Will it sting my corals? It doesn't seem to be bothering the zoos. If anyone can confirm that it is a pest then I would like to remove it before it spreads. Anyone know the name of this so I can research it?

Any way to get a clearer picture of the item you're concerned about? I don't see any tentacles in the picture so it could rule out aptasia.

Cut him out thought that would be the quickest easiest way. I'm pretty sure I got all of it.
Thanks for the help everyone.

I recomend lemon juice as an injection. Squirt that little bugger and he should fall right off the rock.
I wouldnt recomend digging it out because you dont know what you will be realesing into the water by breaking the tissue so much.

Thanks for the info Mr.125 but I already dug it out. I pulled the whole branch of zoos out of the water popped it off and then put the zoos back where they were. It came off pretty clean I think I will be ok but will make sure I remember the joes juice suggested and the lemon juice you suggested in case it comes back.
Do you have any pics of your 125? I would love to see them since I have a 125 as well.
