Aiptasia or Zoas?

Hi all, could you please help me identifying these invertebrates?
Picture 1: I spotted them on one of my recently received live rocks and tank just started cycling so they might be not so happy and would not open much.
Picture 2: I also spotted another one on a different rock that unfortunately retracted and it really looked similar to aiptasia. I was not able to take a picture before retracting. What do you think? Thanks!

Ok i was finally able to take few more pics. It closes very quickly, not sure if aiptasia behaves like that, I never had before. What do you think? Thanks :)

I’m hesitant to say Aiptasia because of the textured stalk. Though it does appear you have some sort of coral in front of it too. I’m honestly not sure
