Please ID: Aiptasia anemone?

[aqua_explorer]

Hi there,
I am pretty new in the saltwater world. I have been happily watching this anemone grow until I did some research. I have a feeling this might be an Aiptasia anemone! Can anyone tell me what variety it is. Thanks!

Looks like an aiptasia to me. Little glass anemones. Can't cut em' out or else the tentacles will float off and create new anemones.
Best killed with joes juice, vinegar, boiling water or Aiptasia X. Also, a thick solution of limewater will do the trick. Also - Peppermint shrimp can do the trick, but I forgot if it's atlantic or carribean peppermints that work the best.
Have fun and check out some other aiptasia killing threads!

it is the atlantic pepermint shrimp.
Here i can go and collect them by the hundreds and they do the trick for me.

Thankyou everyone for your help! That anemone sure didn't like its last meal of vinegar.
