NO, you want to kill or remove it before it spread through your tank.

Oh ok, good to know, I can just scrape it off right?

Yep looks like a Aptasia (glass anemone)
There's a bunch of ways to get it out.
From a liquid you inject to a wand that somebody here, a vendor sells.... What's worked for me were my peppermint shrimps... But if they big like the one in that photo then the shrimps won't help...g/l

If you can remove the rock from the tank then scrap it off. If you do this you want to make sure you give it all, and then rinse off the rock so nothing is left. If you can't remove the rock you want to use something to remove/kill it. There are a number of methods and products that will do this, so do a search and try one.

The pic is a closeup, it looks like it's huge but it's smaller than a dime, I'm gonna try to buy some Pepermint shrimps, I tried to get it with tweezers but it just hides, are there any fish that eat it?
