I keep finding little organisms on my new live rock, I've got one more to bug you all with. I don't think it's aiptasia as I've had that in the past, but it does look similar. Seems to open up at night, I have trouble spotting it during the day but right now with lights out, it's wide open.

It's more white/clear than aiptasia and the tentacles look straighter. Does't look like a small filter feeding type organism from the ones I've seen before.

Corkscrew nem?

With all the patterns on the oral disk I'm tempted to say it's not your average, every day aiptasia. But there are several, slightly different, still invasive, aiptasia family members and I'd bet this is one of them.

Here’s some extra pictures too. It’s hard to get a decent one but you can see the tentacle details here better.

maybe I’ll just super glue over it?
