Found a tiny spot crawling up the wall of my tank. Expecting it to be a snail I zoomed in on my phone and found what looks like a hybrid of a jellyfish and an anemone. Though the 'jellyfish' is, I assume, the suction part of the 'animal'. Any ideas what it is and how big it will get please?

That looks like an anemone of some kind (the suction part being the foot). Not sure what kind or how big it'll get - sorry.
Thanks, it's what I suspected. Moody of, because the tank is a 49 litres nano and now only soft corals and snails - which seem to tolerate the quick changes in water quality ( I will never have a nano again as you only need to eat a bacon sandwich in the same room and the nitrates go crazy). It's had no fish for months, no new corals for over a year, but new critters keep showing. Only things out in that tank for months is frozen food.

So far
half shell snails ( can't remember what they are called.
Brittle starfish ( nice but elusive)
Many tiny shrimp.
Tubeworm.
And now this anemone.
A total creationist dream.
