Is this Aiptashia?

Hello everyone

I have a new organism which I discovered this morning in my smaller 60 gallon. I believe it may not be a friendly organism but wanted a second opinion. What do you think?

Looks like aptasia to me.

Tentacles do look like it, but I don't see a base. Aiptasia have a large base. Might just be a harmless sponge.

BTW this is the wrong forum. Try the Reef Discussion forum for better answers.
