Aiptasia can vary in its appearence - and you have it once again.

I dont think its aiptasia. IMO its Pseudocorynactis. They look nice but its not safe with fishes and invertebrates. They need to be target fed several times a week because they can eat good size fish..

I can't recall the name of this guy, but it is not bad, will not eat fish, and will not sting. They come in LR and are filter feeders, pulling in whatever they can. I've got quite a few of them and have never had any issues.

Definitely not Aiptasia.........
It ended up being a hidden cup coral.
Safe for the aquarium and a sloooooooow grower.
Thanks for all the input folks.
I shall leave it alone.

A cup coral? Turbinaria species?
I've got to see another, but clearer photo before I'll buy that. I'd still be getting out the Joe's Juice!

 

[farslayer]

Cup coral! That's it! It is not aptasia, no worries.

 

[renogaw]

not sure if cup coral and dendros are the same thing, but that is a dendro coral.

"hidden cup" "Phyllangia americana" its a non photosynthetic LPS. I have had one for many years and its now grown into 4 after a VERY long time. let me dig up a couple pictures

 

[reefkprz]

if you google images it only shows pictures of them all closed up........ lame.
