Hey Zayne. Nice looking live rock! That patch of coralline is always a good sign. About that tiny anemone you mentioned, sometimes little aiptasia or majano anemones pop up from hitchhiking on live rock. If it looks translucent and has thin tentacles you might want to keep an eye on it in case it starts spreading since those types can take over quick. Can you grab a closeup pic if possible? That would really help with an ID. Good luck and congrats on the healthy looking rock!

So it’s not a hitch hiker it was intentional put on the rock I just don’t know the species it now has bright pink tentacles and likes brine shrimp

That patch of coralline algae looks awesome and definitely healthy. It’s hard to tell the species from the pic but tiny anemones can be tricky to ID at this stage so I’d keep an eye on its size and tentacle shape as it grows.
