Beautiful fish. And yep, that's aiptasia. Most everyone has it. Some creatures eat them.

How fast does aiptasia spread? I do need to worry about this, correct?

Definitely Aiptasia, read the link Andrew posted for more details about them. They will grow fast and become a nuisance if not taken care of asap.
