what is this ?

[davyb]

Can some one tell me what this is, it is in my lr and it is only out at night.

Could be a rock anemone.

I HAVE THOSE TOO! Only mine are clear. I've heard there species of aiptasia. So I'm watching it closely. Mine have taken floating sand, from the powerhead and the turbo snails that pointed it down, and formed a crust around their bodies, like a skelleton.

Poke it with something, and if it retracts very fast, than its aptasia. If it doesnt, then its probably a rock anemone or something else.
Give it the test....see what happens.

well, i wounder why it is only out at night time?

 

[blackhavoc]

Mine close fairly quickly, not near as fast as a tube worm, but faster than my star polyups, and WAY faster than my zoo's. I'll keep watching them. What I thought was weird is i have a peppermint shrimp, and he devoured the red aiptasia i had, but wont touch this stuff...
