I've had a few opinions but if it's not aiptasia, I would rather not harm it. It's surrounded by zoas and has the pointy tips. Can anyone help me identify it? Thanks!

It's kinda hard to tell tbh. I'd say from the look of the surrounding zoas its an aiptasia. Looks like its stinging the zoas in close parameters. Any chance you could get a better pic?
 
Doesn't look like any aptasia or mojano in my tank. :(
 
I notice that the zoas aren't too happy if they aren't opening up at all I would say kill it.
 
I tried to pluck it out to put it somewhere else.unfortunately It's base was really close to other zoas and I ended up killing it by accident :( couldn't get cutters in there because of the limited space I had to move in the tank and I couldn't pull the rock out soooo... Yea :(

You do wear gloves right? Hate to ask but many are unaware of the danger.
 
If you want to kill it, inject it with lime/lemon juice. You will see it perish! !!
