That looks like aptasia to me. If you disturb it and it draws back into the hole of the rock, it probably is. I got some on my live rock recently. There's a lot of information on this. They tend to spread. Basically don't try to pull it off as each piece will start another one. I got rid of mine by injecting it with concentrated lemon juice with a syringe.
