Hello :) I’ve been in the saltwater hobby since a child but recently got back into it after a several year break. Got a critter in my relatively newer nano. Shrinks a bit at night, bit translucent, smaller than appears in photo. Thanks for any help!

Ah and I say tunicate in post bc it is so small but I guess it doesn’t really look like one? In the photo it’s the first time I’ve been able to identify it’s shape

I don't think it's tunicate. Looks like a closed up glass anemone. Just guessing. Is that as big as it gets?

Yeah it’s never gotten bigger. It’s almost impossible to make out it’s shape unless you have really really good eyes I didn’t know it appeared sort of like a flower until I took that photo last night. It looks more like a white pencil eraser when you look at the tank.

Or I should say, it’s not gotten bigger as far as extending anything, though it has grown a bit overall over the past month.

Let's hope it's a rare priceless polyp. Lol. There's a guy on here that's the best if you've got a good pic he's seen it. Hope he sees this one.
 
Thank you guys! Here are some more, it’s quite small so best I can do. Will just keep watching for sure! It appears to be changing shape and size just a little.
