if you are talkingg about the big circle in the middle of the picture that is a zoanthid - it's a soft coral and a desirable hitchhicker  |

If it recoils back its not a zoa/ paly.
Zoas/palys will just close up, not recoil/retract.......
It does however look more like a paly than a anemone to me......, but growing like you say sounds more like a anemone.........
SO.......I obviously dont know what exactly it is.......but theres something to think about..... lol
