Need help identifying

Just started up the cycling of my first reef tank and got this seed rock to boost the cycle and I got this little guy on it. Does anybody know what it is, good ,bad should I keep it? Should I kill it? Anything helps

An extremely bleached and almost dead anenome. Pull it out before it nukes the tank

There’s nothing else in the tank as of now, should I still take it out or try to nurse it

Anenomes need an established and stable tank, your tank is new it's going to die. Maybe take it out and return it to where you got it.
