ID Please and a little advice

[trips]

I'm not positive what this is but I think it is Aiptasia. I've looked at a lot of different pictures and it looks very similar to some of the pics I have seen. The tank has nothing in it now except for 65Lbs of rock. Haven't really seen much else besides these. Today was the first day that this really opened up enough to see it good. There are several more were this one came from. Advice on the best method to rid myself of it if it is Aiptasia would be appreciated too. I don't plan on adding any fish any time soon and I haven't seen much else as far as hitchhikers on the rock. Shipment got held up one day and when I got the rock it smelled pretty bad.

I'm a big fan af dosing them with kalkwasser paste. It works, though sometimes requires repeat treatment. It's more reliable than adding a fish/invert to eat them, fairly cheap, and at least I know what I'm putting in the tank. Joe's Juice has gotten lots of good results, but since I'm not sure what is in it, I'm not comfortable adding it to my tanks.

I take it I'm right then and it is an aiptasia. Was kinda hoping I was wrong. Thanks for the treatment advice.

Yep, that's an aiptasia or majones anenome--both are pests and can take over if not dealt with quickly.
