    The pink "thing" is likely just a piece of coral. The "red flower" is probably a Christmas Tree Worm.

    aptasia can look more red when it's small and under different lighting.....it also may look like a feather duster when small....also there are other types of glass anemones you should look it up and see what you find just in case.......
    try to take a pic of it and post it, it should help us to figure it out.
