Any idea what this is on flower pot?

[Tray333]

I am a new to the hobby and I noticed this on the skelton part of my flower pot, and wanted to ask if someone can tell me if this is a bad thing.

 

[Chris86]

Hmm maybe a baby toadstool.

 

[Gomery12]

Interesting, has it always been there? Looks like a coral.

 

[pugcrush]

tunicate or maybe a majano/some type of anemone? +1 on how long it's been there? Did it kill/sting off that part of the goni?

 

[Tray333]

i did not notice it when I bought it about 4 months ago, however I relocated the flower pot a few days ago and noticed it. It has 2 red feelers among the beige color ones. Kinda looks like a Catapillar.

 

[Gomery12]

Is it moving?

 

[Tray333]

I am not sure if it stung the Goni or not, I really did not inspect it very well, because I assumed the Goni would just be alive that long and I just wanted something in my tank, at the time of sale.

 

[Tray333]

I do not think it is moving on the rock just waving tentacles with water flow.

 

[Gomery12]

Clearer shot might make it better to ID. Red feelers? Do they come out farther?

 

[Tray333]

Perhaps the red fellers come out a little more than the others but not much.

 

[Gomery12]

Well, still hard to get a good shot, but very interesting. Doesnt seem to bother your goniopora in the pic. My thought was an anemone, but the red feelers is throwing that off.

 

[Gomery12]

crabs and lobsters have been known to associate, might not be out of the question

 

[Tray333]

Well, I suppose I will just leave it alone and see what happens. As long as it stays on the flower pot I will see if it grows into something that can be identified someday. I do thank all for the input to my mystery pet.

@Lionfish Lair likely has the answer to this mystery

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Hmmmm... I don't recognize it off hand....that last pic looks like some sort of anemone.

 

[Reeferdood]

Looks somewhat like a pipe organ....

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Wait.... what's those 2 red things? Extra Hmmmmmm..........

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Looks somewhat like a pipe organ....

I see where you're going with that.... do they all have hard tubes or no?

 

[Tray333]

Not sure how to tell this without touching it. Their movement in water flow looks like how buble tip responds. I think the tenicals tips shape resemble the Russian red square church St.Basil shapes, for lack of better words to describe them.

 

[Reeferdood]

Well,
if possible try your best to get a really clear picture of it so we can figure this mystery out!
