I'm not sure those are aiptasia, only because there is a skeletal base.

anemones don't really have skeletal bases

After a little reading I think its worth considering that your polyp is possibly a type of zoanthid

not that this is your polyp but this is an example of Epizoanthus

I doubt they're zoanthids- you can see some skeletal growth in one of the photos of the cluster of polyps- it certainly is some type of star coral or a close relative, as they are extremely common on live rock.

You have taught me something new. I did not know they presented in this way or that they were common hitchhikers
