It's not a colonial hydroid, if that's what you're thinking. It appears to be a solitary hydroid or a juvenile glass anemone.

I would kill it. It's a small aiptasia that turns in to many large aiptasia rather rapidly. Unless you wild collected your own rock, the odds of having a big hydroid like that are virtually zero.
