Yeah def. looks like a aptasia. Bad spot too. I usually kalk paste them but you would have to be really careful in that spot.

+1 Aptasia. You can get pretty precise with Aptasia-X and such. Good luck.
I would be tempted to QT this while you attempt to rid, Zoas can toss out some nastiness when they are distressed. |

Sure looks like one and it looks large. I agree it is in a tough spot and would try some Aiptasia x.
A peppermint shrimp is hit or miss and will not bother with larger ones usually. I would give the tank a good look over you may find some smaller ones in there. Good luck
