Unknown anemone

[Dav3]

So while looking at my tank in the middle of the night I spot this anemone. Closest I can get at ID is stripped bead anemone. Not much information I can find on these related to reef aquariums. It has brownish stripe bands around its tentacles. Anyone with any experience, seen these before, or can offer a positive ID?

I haven't noticed it till now. I will see if it is there/visible when the lights come on.

It looks like a bleached aptasia anemone to me.

That's what I was thinking at first as well. Wish I could get a better pic. The way the oral disk looks and how the tentacles spread out is different. Coloration and patterns of a sand-sifting starfish. I'm not sure. It could be. I'll just have to continue to observe it. It is super small right now.

So it appears to stay retracted in the rock while the lights are on. Not typical if aiptasia.
