Swimming anemone?

[mtdaly85]

Would love to know what this is that came in on one of my frags!

Video is pretty low res. Can you snap a picture?

I had a tiny upside down jellyfish hitchhike on my rocks. Lived a year or two (picture of it is my profile pic) and then eventually disappeared. Probably a victim of the overflow.

I had the same thing on my zoanthid frag a long time ago! Nobody knew what it was so I threw it out in case it was bad.

Here’s in my thread! https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/help-is-this-a-parasite-on-my-new-zoas.330197/

It’s on the underside of the base of the plug. (I described it exactly like the video in my thread!)

Hard to see the movement in this picture, but it looks like a mix between a jelly fish and am anemone?

Jelly and octopus? Definitely interesting

Its tentacles look thicker than a typical jelly. Not sure but I'm super curious what it is.

look up hydroids. Similar to jellyfish. It will sting things.

Id say its a baby alien from prometheus.. Id burn it if it were me

Sea spider perhaps?

jellys don't typically have specific movements like that thing does.

Hard to tell from the low res pics.
