Need help with ID!

[ReefStick]

So I spotted this little guy earlier and thought the R2R community could help me make quick work of ID! It is in the middle of the frame towards the top. Hoping it's not bad, from a quick search I have suspicions that it may be Aiptasia, hoping that's not the case.

Feather Duster.

Feather Duster.

+1 definitely a feather duster, good guy!

Very cool, I think you guys are right. I'm surprised there is so many of them, that being the largest there are quite a few that are hardly visible covering the same rock. I added two clowns and a handful of snails and hermits last week I'm surprised they what seems to be thriving. Everything I've read they require established aquariums to survive. I would see if I should supplement their diet.

They are filter feeders, shouldn't need to supplement diet l. I have had them off an on in my tank. I have seen my Wrasse nibbling them occasionally which is odd!

Curious if anybody can ID these things more specifically, seems as there is quite a few that will grow to large sizes and quite a few that stay very small. Any idea what these guys might do?

Well they didn't make it, not sure who ate them but it's feather dusters no more. Came to realize there was about 6 or more of them too!

There is probably more hanging around somewhere you can't see. It is just a worm that is completely harmless. Like the coco worm.
Aiptasia is a glass anemone. Their tentacles are not so much in unisense with each other. Thicker at the mouth a little more pointier at the end.
