Aiptasia or Zoa?

[Bitcoin Reefer]

I bought a White Zombie Eye Zoa (seen on left frag) from Reefapalooza. I noticed after buying some very small different looking Zoas. After they grew a bit I separated onto a new plug. After looking though I’m wondering, could this be aiptasia? It’s arms are a little longer than most Zoas I’m used to. It’s very pretty and has orangish pinkish glittery center. The color doesn’t show well in photos.

There are two heads in case it isn’t clear from the photo.

Not aiptasia. Might be a palythoa/zoanthid called Fairy Dust.

Yes I did separate it left frag is Zombie Eye Zoa, right is mystery lol. Do aiptaisa drop off and spread around tank or just grow on the things it’s on like a rock? I assume they float and spread around since they’re a pest people hate.

Thanks. I just looked up fairy dust pics. It’s tentacles seem longer than fairy dust Zoas though. Hmm

Doesn’t really look like pics I see online, but it seems there’s multiple species so hard to say. Thank you for weighing in!

I guess the difference is your tenctacles/fingers are going sideways or down, mine are poking up into the air kind of

Looking like just a very happy zoa unless I'm missing something here
