What is this?

[WVNed]

I took everything out of my 75 and added it into the 240 but it is still running with the sand bed. It was very clean even under the rocks. Today I turned on the light and this was on the glass.
It is about 1/4 of an inch across. Never seen anything like it.

never seen that, is it hard or soft to the touch

 

[WVNed]

I saw Alien. I didn't touch it.

 

[Hemmdog]

I think it’s a nudi.

Aptasia.

 

[ScottR]

Reminds me of a cup coral. Doesn’t look like aiptasia.

 

[ScottR]

Or ball anemone.

 

[LIreefguy]

Touch it with a stick Anemones will close up all the way and retreat

 

[Jon Fishman]

Lick it.... Aiptasia tastes like salt, Ball-anemones taste like salt, and nudi-branches taste like.......



salt

 

[WVNed]

It is still there.
Tastes like chicken
Best I can do because of where it is. I can see it moving the tentacles.

I would think an undisturbed anemone would have some sort of foot raising the disk off of the surface it was attached to. There does appear to be a mouth in the center. Maybe I will try feeding it.

Mojano. (just hitting all the buzz-words)
