Just got home from the LFS and thought I got a good deal of a 4head of small red blastos, only to turn it over and found this! I got a pic, what is it? Aiptasia? There are three on this tiny rock. They looked like a closed zoo but when aclimating the blastos, this little guys opened up. Can I just scape them off?

I cannot really tell in this photo, are you talking about the little colony opposite your finger? That looks like xenia to me but again hard to see. I would make sure they are aiptasia before scraping, do you have peppermint shrimp in your tank? They eat aiptasia and have worked fairly well for me.
 
Thanks for the input but I ended up scraping it off, just as a precaution, I didn't want to introduce anything harmful to my tank since it's been up and running great now for almost a year.
