Just starting in the hobby and Im a week in waiting for my tank to cycle. I am starting to see different thing in and on the live rock, most I have been able to ID. I do have something showing up and I am afraid its Aiptasia...

It looks like aiptasia, but I have these mini looking anemones coming from my GSP rock with little white dot tips also that kind of look like that. Hard to tell from the pic
