Aiptasia?

Noticed this on the base of my torch this morning. It retracts very fast, like in the blink of an eye.

It looks more like a feather duster to me.

As above, a pic under whites should help confirm it

I'll get a picture under whites when I get back home in an hour. Just noticed it when lights initially came on this morning. I know what aiptasia looks like but not so much in a beginning stage so I just wanted to make sure.

Yep looks identical to those, just much smaller. I'm surprised I even noticed it honestly. Cool, good to know I can just leave it be then.

Yes I love them and I'm finding quite a few lately. My gigantic feathers spawned I think or at least that's what it looked like, white milkey substance. Anyway months later babies.

Yeah I dont blame ya, taking a picture of that little one I found was a PITA. Trying to focus on it and get the lighting right was getting frustrating.
