Anemone Identity, not Aiptasia.

I'm sure everyone sees this question all the time, I have a new LFS and the rock they get in is awesome (compared to my old LFS). But either way I got this particular piece of rock today with about five of these anemones on it, I am almost positive they are not aiptasia but I guess you can never be sure. When it is closed it looks like a limpet and when it is open it stays very close to the base (unlike aiptasia). Are there any physical tests I can do to check? (like poke it, lol) Thanks for any ideas

Maybe this will help.

I am always poking things in my tank if it moves I don't poke it again. Poking rules out sponges and gives me a start on researching what I just poked.

I will post a better pic tommorow when the lights are on. Also need an identity on a small sps coral that somehow is still alive after being at my LFS with no light for who knows how long, all I can tell you without a pic is that it is small and brown, lol. Are there sps that don't need special light?

If you could get a pic of it with tentacles extended that may help in IDing it.

As for the SPS you will have to post a pic of it.

I figured the anenome out. From what I can tell it is an orange ball anemone. They only come out in dim light and have small reflective balls on the tips of their tentacles.
