Pest identification - starfish? Anemone?

[Matthew6891]

I noticed what looks almost like a small anemone or starfish. It appears to be a gray color with orange lines along it’s tentacles. I do have rock flower anemones in the tank, but while it has many tentacles each are almost as long as the center of its disk, which leads me to believe it’s not a baby rock flower. About the size of a dime. Any ideas? It’s a bit easier to see in the video.

Thanks in advance!

Very difficult to tell from the picture. . . white light would help

That’s said, when in doubt. . . it’s aptasia

Thank you. I’ve tried capturing a video with hopes it comes out more clear. I’ve always thought aiptasia are translucent - could they also be colored like this?

I'm leaning pretty hard away from aiptasia based on the video. Could be a RFA.

Agree with above, in the video it doesn’t look like aptasia. . . But I have no idea what it is. . .

Pic and video are really fuzzy. Need a better pic. White lights and more detailed close-up.
