Had recent episode with aip too, just to share my experience........ 

one good way to ID it is to put something near to it, if it folds inward & retract in hole,(stalk also retracts), then most prob aip.

If tentacles retract, but tube left, then most prob fan worms.

If nothing happens, then it's hair algae:P

 

Any experts out there, pls feel free to correct me..
