Hello, I’m new to reefing and need some help. I got this daisy zoa and it came with this things growing with it. I’m hoping its not aptasia because I have used aptasia F and kinda killed alot of my clove polyps. What should I do?

Pic is too blurry for me to tell for sure but it looks like it may be aiptasia. If it is, pull it out if the water, poke it a bit and it will retract, then smother it in superglue. Make sure it's completely covered/entombed.
