Looks like aptasia. Don’t try to remove it without doing some research. You will spread it if you are not careful. It is invasive and stings other corals. That one is very young. It will grow quickly. We just got back from a 5 day vacation and had a new one about 1 1/2” tall. We use AptasiaX on them. You can also use boiling water, lemon juice, peppermint shrimp or a laser. Look it up.
Looks like a hydroid jellyfish to me

Critter Identification: Hydroid Jellyfish – First Time Fish Keeper
f you are seeing tiny star-like organisms on your glass, they are likely to be Hydroid Jellyfish. They sort of look like very small Aptasia, or a snowflake or even baby star fish, they are not really much bigger than the head of a pin (1-2mm max).

I think Steve is right, ignore my post about aptasia.
There was another person just a day or two ago asking about the same critters. It is a hydroid but don't freak out when you do a search for hydroids because these "snowflake" hydroids aren't nearly as big a deal. They are common and usually just go away on their own causing little to any headaches for the system.
Thank you gentlemen
