sorry, cant tell anything from that pic
 Maybe on of the more experienced people here can tell you if apstasia will live in a cluster like that (I would think they might not because of competition for food? But not sure).

Ok ... if I squint reallllllly hard .... it looks like a circular blob on top of a thin cylindrical blob? Which makes me lean towards the feather duster theory ...
 If you disturb them, do the crowns retreat into the cylinder? Aiptasia would probably disappear outright, hiding into the rockwork if disturbed, since they probably have their foot hidden into holes and such. I don't know if this helps, but, it seems to me there usually is no mistaking aiptasia as anything other than "little anemones." I dunno.. sorry I couldn't be of better assistance..

Ok if I stand 10 feet away from my monitor and squint hard I think I see it. The body colour matches the top, which matches the colour of aiptasia so that's my guess. Only problem is that the top looks a little too conical, closer to a feather duster in shape.
Man...this is like a game or something

The only thing I can say is that Aiptasia do not hang around in clumps. I have only ever seen them as solitary individuals. They look like a little transparent anemones.
