There are a few less aggressively growing Aiptasiidae but I can't tell them apart very well, so I would get rid of it. It's too close to the feared (Ex)aiptasia sp. you don't want in your tank.

Yup definitely aiptasia, would recommend removing and keeping an eye out for any others down the road.

Glad you were able to stop the aiptasia before it had a chance to spread!
