I just got a white spotted hermit crab from a neighbor and is in by QT tank. Thought I saw somethng moving on his shell when it was put in the tank. Today i noticed what I think is ananenome growing out of hte san next to where the crab rests. It is rising about 3/4inch above the sand and had a brown tube body with white tentacles above it. Does anyone have an idea what this is. I wanted to get a pict but my camera decided to quit working on me this am and now i also have to go out and get a new one on top of all this.

It looks similar but tube is ver big and tentacles are all white. Had aptasia before and dont remember it looking like this. Its in the qt tank for now. If it was in the main tank, my foxface loves munching on them
