No its not aiptasia, its a rock/flower anemone, had one myself, prettiest green and white one. Leave him alone he's just pumping water, and feed him some meaty foods.

Not sure how large these get, believe mine got to be about 5 inches across. I'm also not sure how these particular ones breed.
Reproduction of Anemones:
Spans the entire gamut, sexual and asexual. New individuals may form from a piece torn off during locomotion or trauma, by longitudinal or transverse fission.
Sea anemones may be separate sexes or hermaphroditic. If same ---, generally eggs and sperm tend to be produced at different times. Fertilization and some development may occur within the body cavity or not. Typically, anemone larvae have a planktonic developmental phase before settling.

no i think you would do better for it with MH although your tank isnt over 24 inches the spectrum of those lights arent enough to maintain an anenome for a long period of time.i reccomend an upgrade as soon as you can the sooner the better b4 the anenome suffers from lack of lighting

Anemones do split. I have a bubble tip. Errr, I have 3 bubble tips that were once one. Yours is a rock/flower anemone. I agree with the post above about him taking in water. I feed mine largchunks of shrimp. Some of these flower type anemones will reproduce instead of splitting. I had a large orange one that had little tiny baby polyps and an angel ate them.
