Tiny anemone?

[jpark457]

I found a “thing” on my live rock. I have had the rock in my possession for about 18 months but was bought as a used whole system up and running. I don’t know the origins of it except that it looks mixed. There is a piece of rock near the critter that looks to have been wet for a very long time w variety of algaes and sponges. The thing has a sort of disk about half a cm across and little tentacles. Pic attached. Thanks in advance for any insight

Ball anemone! I have several in our tank. They move and their population seems to wax/wane. I think I remember someone saying they were more closely related to the mushroom coral family then anemones.

I don't think that is a ball anenome.
Maybe a paly or zoa.
Need a picture in white light.

Edit: sorry, your looking at that small thing in front of the paly. Yes a ball.

+1. Pseudocorynactis caribbeorum (ball anemone) is in the same order as mushroom corals.

I was there as well... looking at the paly.

Thanks! Sorry I couldn’t zoom any further to get the paly in the back or the Duncan in the front out of the pic.
