What is this? I'd possible pest...

Stringy looking flower on the right. It goes in and comes out like a zoa. On the left are more strings that may be moving from the base of another zoa. Maybe flow. I'll post a video.

Not a great photo. Got another?

May be a feather duster

 

[Gabriel Garcia]

Trying to get a better one. When I use the flash it sucks right in

 

[HiddenUser]

Definitely sounds like a feather duster...

 

[AmatuerAuer]

Google 'reef tank feather duster' or 'small reef tank feather duster'

Looks like a filter feeder, harmless.

theres a little video thanks for the help I'm just paranoid lol

Hard to see but that looks like an mojave aiptasia in the video by the movement. Does it have tentacles or a fan?

 

[Gabriel Garcia]

Not really tentacles. Hard to describe but looks like a flower skeleton. It can suck in to its base. And come back out.

It's got a hard tube and a feathery top. That's a feather duster... they arn't bad

I'll get a better picture when the whites come on.

Yes that's a good way to describe it.

 

[WetWhistle]

If it has a feathery top and hard tube and can suck into its base that is good.

that definitely looks like a feather duster. if you have any amount of live rock in your tank, you are bound to see them pop up all over. I have a ton throughtout my rock.

 

[Gabriel Garcia]

Good to know. I am just now stocking my tank and I got a zoa colony from a friend. The rock they were growing on was weird and where I placed it in my tank some of the polyps were on the bottom and would get no light so I fragged them to save them. That's on one of the frags. Thank you everyone for the help!!
