Id please

Any idea what it is? It has a translucent brown tenticles that react to light and water movement. It is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter

I have seen it grab a piece of algae that was floating by and eat it. If anyone knows what it is please also add any info on proper care, light, food etc requirements.
Thanks.
(Sorry I haven't figured out how to post the picture in this part. This is my first time.)

I am almost 100% sure that that is an apisiata or a Majona Anemone. They are bad in my opion and I would get rid of them now. They will eat you snail/fish when it gets bigger.
DONT NOT i say again DO NOT agitate it It will send out spores and spread threw you tank like wildfire.
Some benifiets of them are they will keep water clean and clear. I know there is a few more but I can not remember them off hand.
Care:
To take care of these two I think they dont need much lighting and they can be killed by getter a solution called JOES JUICE Works GREAT.
Hope this helps you

Looks like aptasia.

Aiptasia.

 

[madysmom]

peppermint shrimps like to eat aptasias so you could try to buy one

 

[bot587]

Aipistasia, be careful they eat fish, and also they can spread in a tank. Be careful (i think peppermint shrimp eat them, but im not positive.)

Anyone ever seen an Aiptasia eat a fish?

LOL, I don't think he has a pic. I think he was trying to say that aptasia can't eat a fish.

 

[bang guy]

Perhaps they can, I've just never heard of it.

 

[madysmom]

Yeah it sucked to lose the fish but In a way nature took over and all.

We should have a sticky thread of this its one of the common question and most asked questions.

They do get big though look at mine compared to my damsel. I can vouch (sp?) for those spores, they went away in a day though. I've never had any problems with them and I've had tiny damsels before too, i dont think there dumb enough to swim into its mouth.
