Small polyp like thing

[FunWithFishes]

So a week ago I got some green star polyps from my lfs and this morning I woke up to find this little fella hanging out above them. At first I thought a polyp had gotten disattached but it has too many tentacles to be a gsp. Anyone have any idea what it is?

My first thought was hydroids, but I'm doing some digging and they appear to maintain circular symmetry, whereas yours look irregular. ;Bored

Thank you for digging. I came upon hydroid too, also was thinking it could be a baby aiptasia. Both sounded bad, but I wanted an better opinion before I removed it

Aptasia is a possibility, but I'm not sure how good of a possibility. Do you have a frag tank? You could always remove the GSP to there and watch it for a free weeks to see what it's trying to give your tank.

Aptaisia or manjano

No, sadly I don't have a frag tank

Darn.

Well if it is aptasia or majano I would look into a peppermint shrimp or some other form of crown control. When those anemones take over it can get very discouraging.

Okay, thank you for the help I'll remove that one and keep vigilante, and I'll start looking into crowd control
