Tiny Bubble Tip Anemone?

I got a few pieces of live rock the other day. I noticed something that kind of looked like a manjano(sp.), but didnt really resemble it too much. I thought it might be some other type of hitchhiker anemone. The tentacles look exactly like a BTA, they have bubbles on them, and everything. I was just taking a look at it again, and noticed that the tips of all the tentacles are purple. The body is clear/bleached, and the tentacles dont go every which way, but are more in uniform as a circle around the outside of the body. There are also tentacles toward inside of the body, that are also in uniform. Its only about 1 centimeter in size. Could this be a tiny tiny bleached BTA?
Here are a few terrible pics, I cant get a good close up of this thing. You can somewhat tell there are bubble tips, but you cant tell the tips are purple.

What about the purple tips? Is this the same type of rock anemone that some people buy,and dont need light? Should I get rid of this hitch hiker?

Perfect dark, arent the names you gave me species of mushrooms? And I just looked up a beadlet anemone, and I dont think so, because I didnt see any bubble tips on the pics I saw. But it would be awesome if it was.

The Sanctithomae Rhodacits comes in many colors. I would see how it progresses IMO.

Sure...I only gave a best guess, I only suggested that because the OP's description was bubbled tips.
I am also correcting my above ID said Discosoma, I meant, Sanctithomae Rhodactis...my bad.

Yes they are all types of Mushrooms...the Discosoma (Rhodactis) is the same species as a ricordia, which I dont think yours is. See my correction above..

I guess the only way to tell is to let be, and see how things go. But Im guessing if it is any of the things you all named, it will grow larger? Like I said its only about 1 centimeter around.
