That was my thought too. I don't think it is an aiptasia.

Paly?

Short for palythoa. It is a type of soft coral. Some people say button polyp or zoa or zoanthid interchangeably to refer to them.

palythoa

Thanks!! I finally got something not heinous

Agreed. Looks like a palythoa. Do some research. It may contain palytoxin...a neurotoxin. Don’t let that scare you, just know how to handle it safely.
