Hitchhiking coral?

NOCOReefer98 · Jul 11, 2022

Bought a frag with some zoa's and nuclear green palys and I see this little guy poke out when they make an opening. It seems as there are tentacles with white dops on the tip when I look closely. Sorry for the cruddy pic, new to this. Just want to make sure it isn't aiptasia.

No idea - but it's cool.

It appears to be a Ball anemone (Pseudocorynactis). These are harmless cnidarians (nowhere near as invasive as the notorious Aiptasia anemones) that are actually a type of mushroom coral.

I believe you are spot on. After your ID I started googling and researching and it is a spot on match to what is in my tank. Glad to hear they are not aiptasia. Curious to see how it does surrounded by the zoas and palys.
