What is this creature?

Does anyone have any idea what this creature is? It is in my maroon clown baby grow out tank. The only live food that I add our baby brine shrimp and a few copepods and when I’ve looked today, I’ve seen these tiny octopus looking things in amongst the hair algae growing on the live rock.

They look like baby aptasia.

Yep, aiptasia. You'll want to get rid of those before they spread throughout the tank.
