aiptasia look alikes? harmless aiptasia?

[otttr]

Theres around 4 anemones scattered in my tank that seem to fit every visual I’ve seen for aiptasia and I can’t seem to find what else it could be. They all were there within about a month of getting the tank, but now, somewhere around 6 months later, they haven’t spread at all. My fish also swim around them all the time with no harm done. Any ideas what they could be? (pictures)

Based on the kind of segmented tentacles it could be a curly-cue anemone. They are not as bad as aiptasia, but you probably don't want it. They are super common in the Florida Keys were I snorkel. The replicate a lot and sometimes can grow quite big.
