Looks like aptasia. You shoudl get rid of it.

Most things you can let grow. The anemone looks like the pest kind and now is a good time to get rid of it. Take the rock out and remove the thing as best you can with a tweezer then brush spot with a tooth brush and pour boiling water on it slowly.
SPS and LPS are different kinds of coral. LPS usually do not need bright light and SPS do and are more difficult to take care of.
You need to read.

just average polyps. SPS stands for small polyp stony, they are much more demanding when it comes to water quality. and LPS stands for Large polyp stony scraping that aiptasia wont do much cause it will only grow back, get some of THIS

hahah its all good just research things before u make decisions and purchases

That first picture definately looks like aiptasia. They can spread like wildfire and are often hitchhikers on live rock. Sometimes they are very small and hard to notice. Getting rid of aiptasia always provokes a lot of different opinions but I use peppermint shrimp. This has always worked for me. Unfornately for the peppers, if I don't feed my wrasses for a couple of days the shrimp end up as dinner!

 

[DA fisherman]

Yeah well I freaked out and put the rock over open flame the boild it

That makes me wonder if anyone has used a small propane torch to stop aptasia. The small ones that you use for plumbing.

 

[DA fisherman]

@ imbarrie I might try that next time I run into pest problem ;-) lolz
