Bad! It's Aiptaisa, it spreads, it stings, it sucks. Kill it! You can buy aiptaisa x.

Bad!!...It looks to be an Aiptasia or "Glass Anemone". Almost everyone in this hobby considers them to be fast-multiplying pests that sting neighboring corals. I used "Aiptasia X" to rid my tank of them. If it gets a chance to multiply, you could end up with a real problem on your hands.

Can i just physically remove? or will i need some kind of agent to add to the water like the one you mentioned?

Trying to remove it may end up in it spread even more, by releasing spores into the water.
I vote Aiptasia X too

My vote is for pep shrimp, They showed up in my tank a few weeks ago. Two peppermint shrimp and 3 days and they were gone. Havent seen any sign of them since.

A man reading directions?? Amazing. That's a once in a lifetime sighting. Like discovering a yeti in the woods.
Glad you killed the sucker. Now you're a trained aiptasia slayer.
