Question Found a small hitch hiker ID please

Ok, got the rock earlier this week and noticed a little anemone looking growth tonight on the rock. It is basically clear wtih a stem about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long and 10 or so arms coming off the center. I was guessing at aiptasia but really have no idea quite yet.


Picture included, taken with my blackberry:

Yeah going to pull the rock out and destroy it now. No Kalk but I think Vinegar and a good scraping will deal with it well enough.

Thanks

Flame it with a butane torch! Kalk paste makes aptasia babies.
