Yes aptasia. Cover it with kalk mixed with water into a paste via syringe and it will get smothered to death or via syringe using lemon juice
 
Bingo

Bought a live rock that was infested within a few weeks so bought 2 peppermint shrimp and they eliminated it in about a month. Before/After

I tried lemon juice once and it survived. That’s why i wasn’t sure it was aptasia I’m gonna try again
 
Two Peppermint shrimp made quick work of the many aptasia that snuck in on my live rock.
 
If you can remove rock or frag from tank you can use toothpick at the base of it to lift off Do it in a bucket or container with tank water rinse frag or rock to wash out any parts of the aiptasia that might have flaked off. This is what I do and have no return of the turds.
 
Nudibranch works and you don’t have to risk other corals like you do with coral band and peppermint shrimp.
