Pest ID on Candy coral?

Hey I need help IDing this tentacle thing. Looks like a hitchhiker I got the Candy for $8 at my LFS. Thanks.

Maybe a ball anemone, but if you get lucky it could be a baby torch?

Sadly, I think it's a ball anemone.

I have seen a baby torch hitchhiker, the tentacles come more from the center in a torch and are not arranged neatly around a disc like your anemone is.

That torch grew fast and another person at the lfs claimed it even though I saw it went it was a tiny green dot about the size of this o when I spotted it on the side of a hammer coral skeleton. The hammer subsequently died and I pointed out the baby torch when it was about twice as big, with obvious tentacles moving in the current. It was moved into another tank and inside a couple of months it was colored up crazy bright and that was the last I saw it. It was sold and then lost in a tank crash.
