Hi all thanks for taking time to view this post.

First off I am relatively new to saltwater and therefore this is my first live rock. I have been pulled in hook line and sinker and I am now completely addicted to trying to find new things growing on it. :)

I noticed this a week ago and now it seems to be spreading unless the others around it are a different type

Could be corynactis or the ball anemone. They are super cool and kinda rare. However, it's kind of hard to tell from the pic. Try looking those up though.
 
I am currently looking it up and it does look similar. Next question is should I keep it? Will it harm any of my fish or take over my small tank?
 
If you're not planning on keeping corals, I'd keep it. They are actually pretty and will not harm your fish.
