It lives in a hole. I poked it to see if it had a skeleton. As it looks like the hidden cup coral picture. However it retreated into the hole.
Sorry the picture sucks. Its the little white tentacles

Could you get a better picture...in focus? And are we talking about what is on the frag plug? My fuzzy guess might be an aiptasia anemone.
 
Again, not seeing what you're talking about, but could it be the tentacles of a mini brittle star? Google that.
 
I though aptasia too. But after looking at many pics. It looks just like a hidden cup.. However, when i poked he retreated into a hole in the rock. Quickly I might add.. I didn't know aiptasia lived in holes.. And he hasn't came back out for a better pic. Could it be a worm of sorts?
It never had the polyp look of aptasia. That's why I'm asking..
 
I have mini brittles as well. Not one of those. It's quite comical to feed the fish and watch on little leg snak3 out and grab a pellet and pull back in.
 
It would be easier for me to rid if it is aipsastia. I'm just not sold thatd what it is yet.
 
I agree whole heartedly. But to give you a better mental image until I can.. It had the exact look of a hidden cup coral. Thicker tentacles and no polyp like stalk.. When I poked it retreated into a whole.
 
Think it's just down& right of the plug ? the tentacles look too fat for apastia ? Really could use a better pic .
 
Yes that is it. Next to the hermit. Thats what I'm saying. They are thicker tentacles. And its living in a hole. Not attached. Ive seen aiptasia and I dont completely think what's what it is. Im sorry I didn't get a better pic. I was called into work for a trauma and saw it on my way out the door.
Saving the limb took precedent. But I tried!
 
I only had time to click two pics and poke. If I saw a skeleton we woulsnt ve here.
 
Hard to tell. Curly Q anemone perhaps.
