Hello fellow reefers! I am cycling a tank with established biomedia from my neighbor’s tank. Is this an aiptasia on the biomedia that I should entomb with epoxy asap? Or is it not aiptasia and I should leave it alone?

Looks to be some kind of stinging hitchhiker. I would be concerned that it's not alone, entoub it and watch for others.
 
The tentacle-tips look like it could be a ball anemone (family: Corallimorphidae, possibly Corynactis sp.).
It's very difficult to see though, so you might want to take a closer look or get a better image.

After looking at it more closely, I do think it is a ball anemone! I want to keep it but I’ll let it grow out a bit more before deciding. Thanks!
