I am trying to determine if this is an aiptasia or what?!

ideas?

It does not seem to look like most I have seen. Any

Maybe a button polyp, kind of hard to tell. Doesn't look like aiptasia to me.

yea it looks like a button to me also. but its kinda hard to see. can you get a pic from the top of it?

Unfortunately it is in a "cavern" of live rock and I cant get a top down. It does seem to stretch towards the light opening though at the back.

IM trying to get another pic now.. seems I can get a top down pic. It does close up at night it seems...

 

[dc]

Look anything like this?

Here's a bit more clear of a shot, I am still trying for a top down as I can see the top, but its a bad angle for the camera.

It is really hard to tell. I do know that when touched, the "creature" withdraws inward at the top, kinda like a flower

 

[SuperNerd]

I bet button polyp too.

Here is a top down of the second one:

It's the red circle where the light is shining on it.

I wish I had a better camera!

If the top closes but the specimen doesn't retract, I'm casting my vote for button polyp too. All my button polyps (many at this point) grew spontaneously on my live rock, as it sounds is the case for you.
