Is this algae? Please help identify! (See Pic)

Hi

For a couple months or more I have been noticing growth on the live rock. Can you please help identify by looking at the picture and how do I remove it? It appears to be very alive. If I touch it, it will pull back in to its whole rather quickly. It doesn't really look bad but I am worried its spreading pretty fast.

Those are some of the prettiest aiptasia that I've seen. I'd still try to get rid of them, though. Welcome to Reef Sanctuary.
