Question Anemone??

I took this pic early this morning while the lights were out. Does this look like a baby anemone with small white bubble tips? It's in the center of the pic under the edge of the rock. Never had an anemone so I don't know exactly what to look for. If it is one, how would i go about removing it from the bottom of the rock to a brighter (more light) location? What's the rundown on taking care/feeding a baby anemone? ...... being that it could be a anemone. Thanks for your input.

looks to be a strawberry anemone to me... just let it be, it will filter out what it needs...

Alright, I'll let it be. What do they typically eat at this young stage? Are these BTA's?

Looks more like a button polyp coral not an anemone.

yeah, but when it expands it has longer tentacles/lashes than a button polyp. it's kinda deceiving with it drawn-up like it is.
