Can anyone tell from this photo what this is? I know it is kind of a blurry photo, but considering the size of the specimen (about 1/16" !) it is hard to get a good photo. I will try to get a better one.
I am hoping this is not Aiptasia sp. :D
I am going to let it get bigger (assuming it lives long enough) and see if I can get some more info on it before I take any actions.
Thanks,
Dudah

Hard to tell from that shot. Does it look like this up close? If not, it isn't aiptasia.

It does not appear to have a "stalk" like in the photo you included. And the tentacles are much shorter. I will try to get a better photo.
Thanks,

Yes! I would have to agree. It seems it is brown cup coral (Paracyathus stearnsii). I have the Invertebrates book by Sprung and the Aquarium corals book by Borneman. in the invert book it did not match any photos of the Aiptasia or related. And in the Corals book I could find nothing that looked similar.
Until you sent that link!
Thanks for the quick response!
