some ID please. Some sort of aptasia maybe?

[dirk_brijs]

first ID: found this at the beach looking for my clean up crew.



ID 2: this seem to be growing on some of the life rocks I have now? Sponges?

 

[btldreef]

ID 1 = aiptasia
 
ID 2 I'm not sure of.

 

[dirk_brijs]

someone on an other forum ID2 as coraline algea??

 

[btldreef]

That's probably what it is. My guess was that it was a dead/dying coral that was attached to the LR.

 

[monsinour]

ID1 is clearly a snail. I mean you can even see it crawling on the container with it's "feelers" out and about. LOL
 
Time for some lemon juice.

Maybe something like encrusting gorgonian? It looks sort of like a thick layer of Coraline when it's withdrawn.

no, it's not aiptasia. its those pseudoc...... clear corals that i can never remember the name of until someone says what it is.

You're thinking of Pseudocorynactis sp. Ren. To the OP, does it have a hard skeleton on the bottom under the tentacles?

The shape of the tentacles (not having bulbs on the tips) leads me to believe it's a bleached aiptasia. If he'd answer if it has a hard base or not that would definitively tell us which it was.

I think #1 is an aip. Get rid of it ASAP.
Is #2 hard or soft?
