Best way to get rid of aptasia ? I believe its just the one but its massive!! I was told to hold the peice up out of water that its on and blow torch it off.

Yesterday my qt tank turned into its own reef tank. I had a local reefer reach out to me that was breaking down his tank and asked if I wanted to take in some live rock with a couple corals attached for free. I get to his house and he shows me his tank and says here it is everything in it is yours. I had to stop by my lfs to get some live sand and set everything up as soon as I got home. I’m thankful I had a spare tank on hand because I don’t know what I would’ve done with everything he gave me. Also set up a small breeding bucket for aiptasia since the live rock came with it. Luckily for me I have plenty of hungry berghia.

ID please. I am new to marine aquariums hobby. I got this piece, of what I thought was a coral, free with my last order. Now it has those polyps popping out. On the 1st photo you can see the purple top of what I through was free coral and they are growing from the bottom, they all retracted when I handled the piece (photo 2). Is this aiptasia?
