ID Please...

My friend recently started up a 55g saltwater aquarium. He's got some pretty neat hitchhikers on his live rock, most of which I can identify (none bad or invasive.)

However, there's one I that I just can't place. I have a few ideas, but would appreciate a solid ID. thanks in advance. Click image for larger version

Hard to tell from the pic, but my guess would be one of the three:
majano anemone
aptasia anemone
rock anemone

Thanks, that helps. I've yet to take a look at it close up. The picture isn't that great. I hope it's not aptasia...

None of them are a big deal if kept under control.

Doesn't look much like a majano or aiptasia from what you can see. Looks like a little rock anemone to me.

To me it definitely isn't aiptasia , it looks like a frilly mushroom coral or an anemone but it's hard to tell from the picture-sorry
