Today I noticed this tiny guy growing in a crevice. I hadn’t seen it before and the tank is a few months old with not much in it.
If Aiptasia I’d like to get rid of it while I can, but it does not look like it to me.
Anyway here are some pics

I think so it’s just too blurry for me to get a good look at
 
Here is a video which is a bit easier to see it

Looks like either a feather duster or perhaps a single zoanthid polyp.

It's not aiptasia
 
Thank you all, it is super small and hard to make out. I also thought it looked like a little zoa, but I havent had any and there are no corals on that rock (plus it showed up almost overnight). I will keep this thread updated as it grows and perhaps try get some clearer pics.

I've had all sorts of useful things sneak in piggy backed on live rock - sometimes not showing up for months.
Urchins, zoas, starfish, etc

Some not so nice stuff too, but the hitchchiker here looks to me to be harmless.
