I have some aiptasia in the tank I'm dealing with, but these look a little different.

@ISpeakForTheSeas , what do you think?

What kind of rock did you use? Is it Florida rock like from TBS? Looks like it could be one of their curly q nems that's similar to aiptasia but doesn't reproduce so aggressively.

I used dry rock. These are reproducing like crazy. They also stay small - the one in the picture is one of the largest.

Then my guess is aiptasia

Are there multiple species of aiptasia? I've had aiptasia before - and have them now - and they definitely look different from the things in the pictures. Different color (these are clear-ish vs the classic flesh/light brown/peach colored) and different size - these are staying smaller than the other aiptasia I have

Yep, definitely different types. It could be manjano nems but the tentacles don't look stubby enough. Hopefully @ISpeakForTheSeas will chime in.

Hard to say for sure from the pics, but my first thought would be Aiptasiogeton eruptaurantia, the Pink-spotted Anemone/American Spotted Anemone/Thenarian Burrowing Anemone.

Doesn't look like Aiptasia, too many tentacle cycles. I'm not very knowledgeable with anemones doe, so that's all I can say.

Thank you for the responses! I'll try to get better pictures tonight when I get home. Pixel phone tries being too smart for it's own good and makes the pictures worse sometimes!

Aiptasiogeton eruptaurantia looks very close, at least
