It's some type of anemone. Post a picture in the anemone section and ask for an ID.

Aiptasia anemones, very invasive.

Yeah I agree with aptasia. Peppermint shrimp eat them though so get one of those and it will get rid of them all in no time

Superglue them.

It looks like aiptasia.Aiptasia X works for me and a couple of peps for long term control. GL
