If this is AIPTASIA

Than what might this be?? It's white..kinda looks more delicate than the above animal. If I touch it it kinda retracts and looks like a blob

They all look like apstasia.

The first pic (this.jpg) looks like a Turtle grass anemone, Viatrix globulifera not aiptasia. The second pic (arms.jpg) doesn't clearly show anything but if they look like this, they would be aiptasia.

I would say they both look like aiptasia. I have had a few in my tank and would suggest Joe's Juice to eliminate them. If you're not careful, they could spread like crazy.
