your the second person whos said that.. another guy thinks it may be a limpet or stomptella but it dosent really match the pictures i've seen.
anyone else have an idea?

 

[nikesb]

the top pictures look like a snail, but the bottom right picture showing the foot indicates an anemone

 

[sh4n]

ive just added another pic

Ive had a limpet on a hermit crab shell before. It has a hard shell that is usually attached to something, a small foot reaches out to graze on algae. Also it had two antanee things (could have been eyes)
Wats it feel like? Soft like coral?
i wanna say anenome or maybe sm jellyfish! Is this possable lol

 

[nikesb]

definately an anemone with your new picture. which kind? im not sure

 

[btldreef]

It almost looks like a baby bubble tip anemone, but I can't be positive. It's definitely an anemone.

It definetly dosent have a hard shell. Its kinda jelly like.. kinda hard to explain but its soft,
Would be cool if it was a good anemone

Well it's definitely not an aiptasia or Majano, so I think you're in the clear as far as that goes.

could be a bleached out strawberry anenome....ive actually got a thread on em if u wanna look it up under the search bar!

 

[btldreef]

Don't think this is a Strawberry Anemone. Foot and tentacles would look different.

 

[1guydude]

well idk wat the foot looks like cuz mine are attached to the rock lol....ur right though the tentacles are fewer (on the strawberrys).

 

[btldreef]

How big is it exactly? Do you have any idea what it came on?

 

[sh4n]

The most recent thing I have introduced to my tank was live rock about 2-3 weeks ago
the size? its very small about 6 milimeters. heres a pic so you can kind of get a rough idea of the size

 

[btldreef]

Did the LR come from a tank that had an anemone in it? This really looks like a little baby from a large one.
Just watch it, as it grows larger, you'll have an easier time identifying it.

 

[sh4n]

no it didnt, came from a "rock" tank at my lfs - it had only been at the lfs for about 5 days. thanks everyone for your help!

 

[btldreef]

Darn, that would have made it so much easier, LOL. I'd just watch it.
