Exclamation Aiptasia or Feather Dusters

I have recently aquired some new live rock and corals and now I fear I have aiptasia. I'm not sure which is which as I feel there is also possible feather duster growth. I will add some pictures for reference. I know how to get rid of aiptasia, just want to make sure I kill the correct thing!

Thank you! I wanted to make sure as I haven't had a run in with either in the past. Well I guess I got to get a syringe and lemon juice!

I'd say potato, those are def potato quality images.

As for the contents of those images, seems you have ID'd them correctly.

Tip for newbies... Turn off (or drastically turn down) the blue light channels when taking pictures so it doesn't look like a bottle of windex and lose all color rendition and cause your camera to go crazy..
