What Type of Anemone Is This???

Hi all! This anemone just appeared in my tank. At first I thought it was aiptasia, but if it is it is not like any I've ever seen before. Its purplish in color and the tip shines a little blue. It about the size of a dime.

Possibly a ball anemone. Hard to tell. My general outlook is any news I didn’t purposely add to the tank are probably not good.

Thanks. I can't find a pic of a ball anemone or mojano that looks similar. The tentacles on this thing are dense and always cover the mouth. All the photos I've seen of those others the mouth is clearly visible.

Here is another photo under some blues. It almost looks like a torch coral, but I have no torch coral in the tank. Maybe if it grows bigger it will be easier to identify.

Difficult to say from the pics. Do you have Caribbean rock in the tank? Could be a lightbulb anemone
