If you have nothing attached to the rock I'd take it out and cook it for a few days then dry it out

Do yourself a favour and NUKE IT! If you get infested with these, they are very hard to rid rid of.

Looks like maybe red macro? Red titan maybe (looks like mine but I could never get a good id) if its macro just juice the aptasia and let it grow. If its turf algae or something just nuke the whole rock.

Better to be safe than sorry take the rock out and cook it save you some grief further on down the road
