Aiptasia on Ricordea frag

[Rubymoon286]

Hey y'all, I bought a Ricordea frag this past weekend, and went through my normal dip/paintbrush/baster process before they went into qt, today I was inspecting the corals to see if I needed to redip, and I found a tiny aiptasia in the middle of two lobes of one of the ricordea I bought. With it right up in between parts of the coral, I was wondering if Aiptasia X is still okay to use. I managed to eradicate a small outbreak in my display during cycle with aiptasia x and haven't had more pop up *yet* I don't want to damage my coral, but I also definitely don't want to reintroduce aiptasia into my display or frag tank. (I'll try to get a photo of it, but with where it is, my phone is struggling to pick up on the anemone vs the ricordea.

So the question is, if Aiptasia X is not suitable in this situation, what is? If I can use Aiptasia X, what's the best way to minimize damage to my coral?

Well, I think it may not be aiptasia after all - the ricordea moved and revealed this - I'd only seen the tentacles previously.
