Probably is a pest anemone but I'm not 100% sure. Does it close when you touch it? Or else it could be some super rare coral...and nice zoos btw.

Thanks, for the info. It does not do anything when I touch it, but it did close up when I put it in the dip, before adding to the tank. BTW I have these zoo's comming out my ears so if you would like a chunk let me know.

that guy looks very similar to a weird anemone I had, I realize that these pics are not identical to yours, but "in real life" mine looked exactly like your photo
they didnt appear to hurt anything, however it kept growing and growing and it eventually pissed me off and I burned it with a lighter

So the consensus seems to be good. So I wont kill it. Thanks guys. It is slowly moving off the rock, I am sure it will be searching for a better place to plant itself.

from foster&smith - live aquaria:
The Curly-Cue Anemone, also known as the Trumpet or Rock Anemone, is a member of the Aiptasiidae family. They are found in the Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic Ocean, most common from Plymouth to the Gulf of Guinea. The body is opaque amber with yellowish-white spots. The tentacles turn brown to brown/violet as they go away from the body, are translucent and have spots.
The Curly-Cue Anemone is normally found singly, but, in quiet, shallow water, they may reproduce by cross division and form colonies in the summer. They prefer to live hidden in rock crevices and under stone overhangs. Be sure to supply these in the aquarium. The Curly-Cue Anemone is a carnivore, and will consume fish, mussels and crustacean meat. Offer a high quality frozen carnivore preparation, as well as fresh, chopped fish. Iodine, and trace elements should also be added to the tank for the Curly-Cue Anemone to thrive.

of course it will THRIVE in your tank, only if you dont want it there, if you want it there it'll probably die
