I noticed it about a month and a half ago. It was microscopic when I first noticed it. It has grown considerably since then. I feed it every couple of days now and it is growing faster then ever. I think it looks pretty cool and I hope it is something nice and not a pest. Please, if anyone can tell me what it is, I would appreciate it. Thanks -Ryan-
OH PS>>> It is the greenish colored guy below that mushrooms on the ledge of the rock.

Well it is tough to tell from this angle (nice shrooms by the way)...my guess would be that it is a majano anemone, considered a pest...thought by unsuspecting hobbyists to be a "baby bubble tip anemone."

YES!! That's exactly what I have been thinking!! LOL - A baby BTA. I was hoping it was anyways. It has a nice green color to it.

No it definately looks like it has bulbs on it. I was thinking it was a Bubble Tip but now I think it is Mojano after looking at all the pics online... Thanks for the help!

I believe its a light bulb anemone. Its similiar to a aptasia... except it shouldnt grow out of control ;)
It is a hard shot to really tell... but i'd put at least 50 bucks on it!
