It's bleached out a little...well a lot. It doesn't look like aiptasia and I've never seen a bleached majano to compare, but what do YOU think it is???

Welllll, maybe it does look a little like aiptasia, But I'd still like it confirmed by somebody who knows something about softies... I hate to mistakenly kill off something innocent.

There are many, many kinds of aiptasia/glass anemone. I had 2 just like yours. If you spend enough time scouring photos on the net you can find them. They don't seem to spread like the common brown ones we always see. I left them alone and have not seen them since we moved. If I were you I'd just keep an eye on them. If they start making you nervous, then nuk'em.
Very nice pic, BTW.
ps...this isn't the easiest site to navigate, but they do have a few pics. If you scroll down below the pics on this page there is a small list of other aiptasia. Just click on them and scrll down to see if they have a pic of it. I bookmarked this a long time ago and forgot I had it.

Also search for aiptasia pallida, or pale anemone

Oh well, you take the good with the bad I guess... Slow rower or bot, it's one thin I do not want, lol. Even if it were a zoa or a paly I would gave it away, but my gut tells me nobogy will want this...
Here's another pic I found while searching...
Almost makes them look pretty
