Searched but could not find any posts with this type of question/photo. I just discovered this last night on my new live rock and see it again tonight. No sightings during the day, but this is about the size of a pencil eraser. It looks like a small urchin, but I have never seen one this small. Any ideas/confirmation? Or is it something I do not want in the tank? TIA IMG_3447.JPG IMG_3446.JPG

True, but it's the only way I could get a photo. Definitely not aiptasia as I have only observed after lights out and it does move slowly about the rock.

I’m sure it’s likely urchin.
