			 Looks to be aptaisia anemone.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	couple of options to get rid of them... 1. Slush mixture of sea salt applied directly onto anemone via baster. 2. Aptaisai X chemical remover. 3. a squirt of boiling water on the site. 4. Peppermint shrimp (hit or miss) 5. Certain fish eat it 6. bergia nudibranch 7. cruise missile the last one might cause a sandstorm...  |

			 +1 for aptasia.  Aptasia X works good and doesn't release tons of spores all over ur tank.

			 Personally I'd take the rock out and dig /smash around the aptaisia area completely removing it and any signs of it from the rock. Actually though, if it was me I would not even use the rock, it's a plague that may take years to get a foot hold but if it ever does you'll under stand. I see a few in your picture which means they can and probable are hiding every where in the rock.

			 I use lemon juice in a syringe. The insulin syringes from a pharmacy work well. I haven't had one since my tank first started up.

			 Cheapest and easiest.....go to Canadian Tire, head to paint department and buy a 9 dollar bottle of Muriatic Acid. The stuff works awesome.
