Weird Aiptasia or something else?

Can anyone help me ID the anemone on the right in the pic? The two on the left are text book aiptasia, but I haven't found a photo very similar to the other. I just want to confirm that it's a pest before I start exterminating. I've scooped two out of the sand and another one just popped up next to my BTA. Tank's only 2 weeks old. BTA and lots of aiptasia came with the live rock. I've been killing them with lemon juice, which is working beautifully, but I can't inject these little guys with a clear conscious until I'm sure that they're trouble. Thanks in advance!

It looks more like majanos then aiptasia. Not sure though. Other's probably have a better idea.

Let it grow and find out.. Could be another anemone of sorts.. curly cue, rock anemone, ball anemone, etc..
