No it isn't rhyzo, from what I have seen. The last picture gave it away because of the long fleshy stem it can have. Maybe someone else can help.

Rhizotrochus typus has a very large, heavy skeleton, and does not come from area where live rock is imported from. Your hitch hikers are anemones; just watch to make sure they dont spread too aggressively over the next few months.
