That doesn't look like Aiptasia to me, but it's a little hard to see in that pic. I seem to always have an Aiptasia or two in my tank and they are out all day long.
 
Looks like a Corynactis or a Pseudocorynactis anemone. They stay relatively small, and are basically harmless, but will sting anything next to it, like any other Nem.

You are totally right!! Iam at week 2 of cycling my 14g nano reef.. I'm worried my ammonia will spike and kill this little dude.. Any idea how I go about keeping him??
 
Not really. I would just hope for the best. They actually are very hardy and live through cycles frequently.

I've never seen one before but after comparing the pictures that's almost no doubt that's what it is. That thing looks so cool.
