Hello all found this little guy behind one of my rocks. It’s tiny and in a very low light area. On first glance I thought it may be aptasia, so I went to get it off the rock. It closed very quickly after being touched. After thinking about what I saw I wasn’t sure it was actually aptasia. I’ve been very good at purchasing 90% of my rock, coral, fish etc from a very reputable LFS. This photo is after it closed. I’ll attach another photo when it fully opens. Wondering if anyone knows what this guy is, TIA!

Hard image to define. Looks like a ball tip anemone. Please present day or white light image if able.
