Is this an aiptasia anemone? The angle on these pictures isn't very good but I can turn the rock around if I need to.
Aiptasia?

What should I do? I don't think it's big enough to inject with anything.

You could get some peppermint shrimp. They have a 50/50 chance of eating it so grab 2 or 3 it will increase your chances.

You can get even the smallest ones with Aiptasia X. That's what I recommend. Aiptasia X and peppermint shrimps.

Just noticed you are just starting out also.
How old is the tank? Has it cycled yet? If not, dont add the shrimp yet and wait for the tank to cycle

Yeah. I've had the live rock in since Sunday. I think I have a Smith's Damselfish, the LFS said it was a chromis and I needed something to produce ammonia since the rock was completely cured. I read one here that people have mixed pickling lime with water and just squirted it on it. Would this work?

I've not had great success with that method. It tends to come back. Aiptasia X has been the most effective thing I've found so far.

Okay. It'll be a few days until I can pick some up. Thanks a lot.

One just popped up in my fuge. The last one I had I killed it with boiling water and then sucked it up w/ a syringe. I'm thinking about heating up a metal rod red hot and poking it.

If I touch it with my fingers will it sting me?

It will most likely withdraw into the rockwork before your fingure can get there
