Types of Aiptasia

I was at my LFS today and purchased a toadstool and 5 hermits. While observing the small rock the toadstool was attached to I noticed something that looked like an anemone that was clear with yellow tips. I asked the salesman what it was since I have seen more than one of the same thing in my 37 gallon. He told me they were Aiptasia and I should get rid of them. I was just wondering how many types of Aiptasia there is and what should I look out for on my next live rock purchase. Since I got home I have treated 4 of these with Aiptasia X, will this work? Thanks again

Hi OcellarisClowns! Can you post a photo, and then folks here with allot of experience and knowledge can help with the ID.
 
with aiptasia x, Just covering the oral disk was not enough to get rid of them for me. I had to wait for them to accept it, then jab the needle in their mouths and fill em up.
