Any ideas what this is

OK I am moving house shortly so the tank is being disassembled and moved.

I have an Anemone in the tank which has not caused any trouble, I imagine it has come in on live rock at some stage, but I have had it for over 2 years now.

So do I worry about trying to move it or is now an ideal time to kill it, if it is an Aiptasia. The reason I am not sure is that all the times before I have had Aiptasia problems then they have spread all over the tank in no time.

Anyway, here are the pictures.

Yeah, definitely looks like aiptasia to me....I have had one for about 7-8 months and it has never spread so I just leave it alone but I am prepared to nuke it if I see one more.
 
I'm not so sure that's apt.
It's similar in shape, but not color, and yeah, I would think it would have spread by now.
I saw somewhere else someone showed something like that, maybe a tube anemone?
 
If it was a tube anemone it would have a big tube(reminiscant of a feather duster's) that it buryed in the sand. Looks like that one is on a powerhead or something similar.

I'd say some random "glass anemone" aka aiptasia.
