Polyp Moving?

I recently discoverd a hitch hiker in my tank. It looks very much like a Zoa polyp. Sort of a rusty red - really pretty actually. (I'd post a pic, but it's in a place where I can't get one.)
Thing is, it's moving around. I shifted the rock it was on to a place where I could see the critter, and it wandered to the underside of the rock. I guess it doesn't like light so much 'cuz this is the 2nd time it's done this.
I didn't think Zoas were motile though. Spreading yes, but physically moving themselves?

So what have I got?

Definitely not Aptaisia. It doesn't look like the "majano" pic either.
I'm curious whether it's an anemone as well, but it moves to avoid the light, which I find odd. Are there non-photo anemones?
I'll see if I can get a pic of it when the lights come on in a few minutes.

Ok, here's my best shot. Unlike Palys or Zoas I've seen, it's got a distinct double skirt. Sorry for the quality - a photographer I am not...
