Yeah, looks like a duster.

For future reference, aiptasia are no reason to freak out. A single one is very easy to kill, either via something like Aiptasia-X, or simply by removing the rock and covering the aiptasia with liquid superglue. I've bought frags from my LFS before that had aiptasia on them, knowing about the aiptasia, because they're so easy to deal with when it's just one or two on a small item. It's when they're all over the tank that they're a pain, and they don't get that way just overnight.

Clean those zoanthids off by squirting them with a pipette or the like, they've got algae on them and I doubt they like that.
