Aiptasia Paranoia

[colcoral]

I got my halides in July and also had lots of hitchhikers on the last two purchases I made. What's this? I thought it was a ricordia before it moved and the stem got long.

Does it retract when something gets near it?

 

[colcoral]

Yes, and it has moved once. It also shrinks when the halides are off but not all the way.

 

[bigarn]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's aiptasia. Wait for more replies.

Looks like a mushroom to me.

 

[colcoral]

Thats what I thought and was hoping but, paranoia sneaks in.

its wierd thow how it has those bubble tips.this is just in up in the air guess but maybe since it moved and its got those bubble tips maybe its a bta?????

I'm thinking it's some type of Flower Anemone.

It may be a relative of aptasia and mojano anemones. I've seen a few in the past. I would relate them closer to a majano IMO. Can become a pest when it starts replicating.
Good Luck
