Help identifying if this is aiptasia!

[Avrbuster]

Could anyone tell me if this is aiptasia? I think it is, but it kind of looks pretty. It's really small so the picture is pretty poor.

We have had this tank up and running for over 6 monthes and I have never seen it before. We have not added any rocks or coral so I'm unsure how it got in there.

We had a peppermint shrimp in the tank, but I haven’t seen him in a while (not that we saw him frequently before) and we have re-aquascaped so he may have gotten trapped or worse . He may have been eating it and that's why we never saw it!?!?!?

This Pic is a little blurry, but it kind of looks like Aiptasia. I would recommend using Aiptasia-X, it works quite well on the bigger ones. The smaller ones are a definite challenge, I'm having to pick up a couple of Peppermint Shrimps to take out the smaller ones. I'd recommend you do the same.

It's not a very clear picture but it looks like it's got green straight arms with white tips. Aiptasia are brownish and their arms are a little scraggely looking.

that is a ball anemone kinda cool def not a pest they come in many varieties i like the orange the best they are a night time nem you can actually feed it mysis or brine but they are sensitive to light and arent found too often in the day whioch is why you have never noticed it it gets to be about the size of a toonie at best cheers

I agree with reefwars except it's not an anemone it's actually from the mushroom family
