I recently noticed this critter in my tank which appears to be a hitchhiker as I have recently added a Ricordea and a rock flower anemone recently. I dipped the Ricordea’s but not the Anemone of course and have noticed this white anemone looking critter. It almost looks like a glass anemone aka aiptasia anemone but white. It is only appearing on my glass and in these pictures on a turbo snail and my return pump which has some hair algae on it. I also just added some chaeto and have been dosing with vibrance to deal with algae issues. My readings are as followed
pH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite:0ppm
Nitrate: between 0 and 5ppm
Tank has been up and running for over a year. Stocked with a spotted mandarin (doing very well by the way) a red dragonette a royal gramma and a flurry clown all 1 inch and under. Moderately stocked reef tank
Tank is a 25g innovative marine lagoon tank with refugium in back, running purigen and ceramic media stocked with a kessil light.
Please help me I.D this hitchhiker!!
