Good or bad hitch-hiker nem?

I may have aiptasia in my new tank, but I'm not sure. It looks different from any aiptasia I've seen, so I'm wondering if I got lucky and some sort of good anemone hitchhiked on my live rock. I've only seen one so far. Tried to get pics but they aren't great.

Color isn't great in either since I took the pics on my phone. The tips seem to be pinker than the rest of it (much pinker than aiptasia in my other tank), and there are white bands about half way up the tentacles. It's only a couple cm wide. Is it another type of aiptasia? If not, is it harmful/ what is it?

Yep, that's an aiptasia. Kill it or you'll have more.

Thanks. Killed it with lemon juice last night. I have aiptasia in another tank of mine so I know all to well how quickly it can take over a tank. I'm thinking since the rock was only in for a day before I noticed it was there, and it was really tiny, I shouldn't see more pop up. But I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more just in case.
