Showed up on live rock - what is it?

[skyedale]

Of course it is a bottom piece that is supporting 3 other pieces, really tiny new growth. I have no idea what it is. Colour is pinky/red. Size is about 1.5mm. Yes I have way to much time on my hands staring at live rock. I am hoping it is not aiptasia. Right now there are two tentacles that sort of form a claw. The tentacles have side spurs.

If I am lucky it will turn out to be foraminifera. The colour and location are right.

If anybody knows how how to draw a circle around a photo in iMac photo, I could highlight what I am sending without everybody trying to guess what I am sending a photo of.

Thanks

It almost looks like a type of macro algae

Did some checking once I knew where to look. You are right it is a macro algae - Plocamium Corallorhiza

Looks like red dragons breathe

I think it is more like this than Dragon’s Breath

Plocamium Corallorhiza. Apparently it likes the dark underside of live rock. Be interesting to see how it grows.

I agree...the tips kind of look like dragons breath
