Hello,
Can anyone help me ID this small orangey-tan anemone that arrived on my Pom Pom macroalgae? Surprised to see something show up like this from Algaebarn. It only appears to be on one clump of many from what I can see, but in case its aphasia I will remove all the other pieces for inspection.

Thanks everyone! Ok I'll take everything out and rinse/inspect the rest for aiptasia. Glad this was caught early!!
