Anemone? Maybe

[army446909]

So I just notice about 5 or 6 of these have popped up around my tank. I’m not sure what it is but they may have hitched a ride on my clean up crew. Any ideas what it is? It’s about the size of a pee and kind of reddish with clear tentacles with green tips kinda

plus 1 for the white light, but if I had to guess based on what you said that 5 or 6 have popped up I would guess that they are aiptasia. These look like nice but they are not. Do they look like they are poking out of the rock? If they are then it is my opinion that they are aiptasia.

There are many threads here on R2R regarding this. Here is a like to LiveAquaria article on aiptasia https://www.liveaquaria.com/article/295/?aid=295

They are just sitting on the top of the rock best I can tell. Not sure what you mean by poking out.

Ball anemone. Cool little things. I used to have one and fed it when I fed my corals. Never caused a problem and stayed small.

Could be cup coral, which would be cool.

Thanks all!! After searching the Google I have decided I agree they are ball anemones. Which apparently aren’t anemones at all but a type of mushroom, according to tidal gardens at least. I’ll just have to keep an eye on them.

Anemone family condyactis you may see more but they stay more in the darker areas of the tank. No problem at all. Cool find
