Whqt is this?

[PghReef]

Came on KPAQUATICS liverock. Definitely som3 sort of anemone, does retract when disturbed. Doesn't look like aptasia to me but was planning on frying the thing out of abundance of caution.

is it on a stalk or more flat like a mini carpet?

Hard to say. Lays pretty flat to the rock normal visible stalk. Does pull into a hole within the rock when disturbed.

Looks like aptasia, or could be a random zoa polyp cause sometimes zoas pop off and ride around and find a random spot to settle

Typical carribean rock flower anemone. While they don’t host Clownfish they will host Cardinalfish and Porcelain Crabs which will gladly take up residence within one. Medium water flow is essential to good health and while they do enjoy high light levels it isn’t crucial for their health!

Rock is from the keys so shouldn't be aiptasia. Doesn't look like one ro me but I guess anything is possible

Doesnt look like the typical rock flower anemone pictures I see. Is that because the ones for sale are brightly colored larger mature specimens and this is a baby one?

From what I see it looks more like a zoa polyp or smth, aiptasia is usually translucent right? At least mine is

Yes- and also wild carribean species

Yes- and also wild carribean species

So will it grow and obtain other colors or is that just the wild colors?

Anything to worry about? Will it grow huge and string corals of I don't give it plenty of room? They're not wandering or anything like typical anemones right?

Typically stay put and grows Up to 4" round

This is another type

Cool. I guess I'll just leave it for now since it won't go crazy in the tank.. See what becomes of it and give it some space. Thanks for the help.
