Kill or No?

[LagunaGlide]

Currently all my rock is in my sump while I slowly fill the tank. I noticed this little guy pop up out of nowhere. I check my rock several times a day just to look for critters etc, and there is no way I missed this one the night before. I don't think it's Aiptasia or Majano, but could be wrong since I have never seen either in person. There are a good number of cup coral on the same piece and other pieces of rock, but this guy looks a little different. Currently no UV light on sump. Thoughts? TIA

That looks like cup coral to me. It's definitely not an anemone, I see the skeletal structure under there.

I dont think its an aptasia either...leave it alone for a bit and lets see what it turns into.

Awesome thank you. Is the brownish bit the skeletal structure?

I like that plan maybe I'll even feed it and see what happens.

The brown part is tissue but through that you can faintly see the septa of the skeletal structure.

Cool thanks. I have yet to keep coral, so am still learning. Now I know what to look for in that regard.
