What hitchhiker is this?

I just noticed it a couple of days ago. It seems to be doing well.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

The pics are pretty blurry, but I think I can see some tentacles dangling down in the top pic there, so possibly Aiptasia?

If you can get some clearer pics (under white light - blue light makes ID'ing things tough), that would help with saying for sure.

Sorry about that.

Sorry about that.

No problem - the new pics are much clearer.

That's a soft mushroom coral of some variety, but I'm not sure which (I haven't looked into mushrooms much at all at this point). Hopefully someone who knows for sure what kind will chime in for you here, but - if not - you can ask in the forum below and I'm sure someone will know:

Good hitchhiker to have!
