Any clue what this is?

Not the Zoa, but what's under it... I didn't notice it till I got it home.

First, those aren't zoas. Second, your mystery creature is an aiptasia anemone. They're rather ugly, and they reproduce fast.

I vote alien... quick, kill it! (read up on how to kill it... cutting/jabbing etc. it will allow it to reproduce faster)

it's on a small piece so I took a blowtorch to the spot. Will that work?
