You can burn it off with a lighter since it's out of the tank .

Yeah it's aiptasia. Methods of removal include injecting with kalk paste or lemon juice, basting with boiling water, or a commercial product like aiptasia-x or joe's juice. Injecting is a good choice. Aiptasia-X works pretty well too, they actually eat the stuff and die within a few minutes. If you're using kalk or boiling water, you have to smother the whole thing so it dies. If you're injecting with lemon juice, you can take a hypodermic syringe and either inject through the mouth or the stalk. You can also buy a peppermint shrimp, many will eat aiptasia. You can also take a look at bhergia nudibranches, but that's overkill for a small tank.

1 peppermint won't do anything unless they are really small also I they are in a DT they are just goin to eat food u feed try starving the tank for a bit and add more peppermint shrimps also if they are really big you will have to shoot them with aptisa x and the peopermints will eat it when it is weak
