Tiny anemone in tank?

Hello yet again! As I have stated in my earlier posts, I am extremely new to the hobby of saltwater tanks (although I have maintained several freshwater aquariums throught all phases of my life) and I once again have another question I was hoping someone could answer.

Since my tank is relatively new, I give it a good check every morning after feeding my fish to make sure everyone is accounted for and that they all look okay. This morning, however, I spotted a very very tiny anemone starting to grow on one of my liverocks. I did a little research, and it's quite clear that it's not an aiptasia, but still - I cannot seem to figure out what it is.

Can someone help me out and maybe tell me if it's something I should be worried about? I managed to snap a picture of it, but the anemone is very very small so hopefully the picture is good enough quality for someone to help me out.

I know the picture isn't that great but it's in a very hard to capture spot in the rocks. It's very transparent with what appears to be tiny little white balls at the ends of its tentacles.

Thanks for the help!
 
It's very hard to see since its so blurry but anemones dont just appear unless there the nuisance kind which would be aptasia or majano. Sometimes colonial hydroids will look like anemones. But in which ever case its not a welcome Addition to your tank. To be sure we need a much clearer picture its just a blur.

Well I can say for 99% certainty that it's not an aptasia, though I'm not familiar with mojanos.

Tried to get a better picture today, but it's in a very inconvenient spot in the tank and I cant really snap a head on photo without moving the rocks which I can't do since my anemone finally just got situated into one of the crevases and I don't want to disturb him

I've got a few of those in the tank, they are harmless. They have spread since I first saw them, but it is very slow.
