Just found this growing on this rock. Rock has been in my tank for almost a year.

Really hard to tell with a the blue... Is there any real live rock (like from the Gulf) in the tank?

Sorry for the poor quality pic. I was feeding just before light goes off and saw this. I will post a pic in better light tomorrow. Yes I have a few rocks from gulf live rock just a year ago
 
On the gulf live rock web site, he has a picture of something called light bulb anemone, not sure if that is what it is and whether it is safe or not.

Could be that or a curlicue. If you've had the rock for a year and you're just now seeing a single anemone, regardless of the type it clearly is not a rapid spreader! I have a single aiptasia that's been in one of my tanks for over 2 years... Have never seen another.

If it's pretty and you like it, consider it a nice belated surprise hitchhiker.

"Safe" is a relative term. Carpet nems will eat fish but people buy them all the time...
