[Trixter227]

Got a shipment of TBS rock about a week ago. And alot of random life but this is the one thing i am unsure of.
Anemone? Maybe?
Any ideas right or wroung would be appreciated!

They look like Curly-cue anemones. They are everywhere in the Key and along the east coast of Florida. They can get bigger, but mostly they act like aiptasia and propagate a lot!

I have one large one. No propagation yet. Mine is quite large.

I recommend getting a peppermint shrimp! Another alternative is berghia nudibranches but they are quite pricey and can die easily without aiptasia. Just keep an eye on the shrimp, because I've heard stories of them eating corals. Good luck getting rid of those pests!

yea its some kind of nem. they have a bunch listed on their Hitchhiker's page.
I got a bunch on my rocks as well. I chipped off the really large ones and tossed them in the sump since they look cool.

Haha that is why its banished for my sump. Trying to use it as a simple "display" refugium for macros and other critters.

I think that is a caulerpa, fast growing weed that can overrun a tank.

Yes but it is a pest, so if you see it in your tank you should try to remove it.

Indeed curlique anemones which were popular in the 80's and 90's and harmless to tank. Domino damsels although nasty will lay in a curlique

Anemone Shrimp, Pederson

The Pederson Anemones Shrimp hosts up with curlique/ corkscrew anemones. They are small but very entertaining shrimp. Great addition for almost every tank.

Nice thank you, i will leave it be i guess!
I wanted bio-diversity and random critters with the Liverock so i am pleased to find not detrimental hitchhikers.
