Hitchhiker ID

[Hiimscott]

Hey, I just bought a new piece of coral from my LFS and it has something growing on the live rock it was attached to. It has moved itself overnight and I can longer find it... Can any one ID this for me?

Looks like Aiptasia to me. Might not have moved, just closed up/shrunk for a bit. They can pull themselves in very far if disturbed. If you find it, I would remove it as soon as possible with one of the various aiptasia treatments.
