Is this aiptasia?

[brokendeck]

We purchased 2 great pieces of LR at the LFS today and are now seeing a few little pieces of what we think are aiptasia. Want to make sure though. We had planned on getting several peppermint shrimp today but they were all sold out. If it is aiptasia, can we wait until the fish store gets the shrimp in on Wednesday, or do we need to try and kill it with another method?
*I forgot to circle the aiptasia looking thing on the pics, but it is the brown wavy looking thing...lol
Thanks for your help!

if the aiptasia is big, the peppermint wont eat it. best to shoot it with joes juice.

They are very bad, they sting any coral they touch to death and they spread like the black plague. They will take over your entire tank in no time at all. I am talking into the hundreds.
