Baby Aptasia?

Just got a new coral shipment. Saw this guy floating in a bag with a coral.

Kind of reminds me of a huge spider mite on plants. Size is close to 1/4 of an inch.

Outside of dipping, what can I do for the coral before adding to tank?

The dip should have killed most pests on the coral. What else are you worried about?

Just wanted to confirm if this is in fact aptasia as I heard that dips do nothing for them.

There are several good dips for Aiptasia-

Lava
Cold vacuum of space
Napalm

It looks like aptasia. Do you see anymore on this coral? If so you could use some Aptasia X or kalk paste
