So last night I was watching some new cerith snails do their work with a red light, and I came across something on the sand that startled me. It was what looked like a very tiny anemone moving its tendrils in and out, but it doesn't look like any of the normal pest species I can find online. Most notably, the ends of its tendrils have a little ball.
I can't get a photo because it's tiny and also seems to mostly pull in during the day (best seen in red light, which shines right through it)
It looks most like this: http://www.underwater-photos.com/pw035.html
But the tendrils are smooth not jagged, there's only one, and it's more clear than red, as well as the base of the tendrils being much closer together.
Anyone have any idea what this could be?
I had long ago decided no anemone's for me (because of the danger of them dying and nuking a tank for a newbie keeper like myself), but it looks like I now have one like it or not. Should I worry about trying to get rid of it while it's still small?
