Aptasia or no?

[Forty-Two]

What do you guys think? I recently bought some live rock and I’ve been watching it closely to see if there is aptasia.

its very thin but I’m leaning towards yes.

I am not sure what it is but not aiptasia.

No it’s in the water. Lights are off. It’s possible the rock was exposed for a while out of the water in the LFS where I got it from

The form looks more like xenia. Are the end tentacles pulsing?

No I don’t see any deliberate pulsing. To me this is a bit of a strange one. At first I thought it might be feather dusters but they don’t have a deliberate fan shape to the ends/tentacles.

I'm going with possibly being anthelia. Not aiptasia though.
