Is this Aiptasia?

Never had aiptasia before... is this it? When fully opened, it looks like it has white dots on the tips of its tentacles.

Awesome thanks! I really hope that's what it is... I have a few others in the lower rockwork, but can't really see the body like the ones on this shell. All I can see are the little white ball tips.

I do a bit more reading to make sure and examine the other ones in the tank as well.

That's what I had originally thought as well, but the more pics I look at, the more I'm thinking (and hoping) it's not.

It's difficult to tell if the other ones in the rock are club tip/strawberry ball anemones because I can't see the body, just little clear tentacles with white tips.

Definitely a ball anemone. They've popped up in all my new tanks and eventually go away.
