what the heck is this

[capschamp]

this is on my rock that has all my zoos on it. i thought at first it was just a larger zoo, but it is alot bigger than the rest and has longer tentacles.

1) Aiptasia
2) different species of zoo
is it possible to see a veiw at the polyp fro the front?

 

[capschamp]

thats a negative captain. my camera is a p.o.s. and there is a peice of rock in the way from that side. i was thinking that it might be aiptasia, but i thought they were more clear/transparent. this one doesnt fully retract its tentacles, but they do go from short to long to short for no reason whatsoever.

looks like a zoo, or a fether duster from what your telling me, lol.

Doesn't look like a feather duster to me, it looks like a polyp. I would guess one of the larger varieties of zoanthids.

Yup....maybe a palythoa.
It looks too large to be aiptasia, but it could be a Mojano anemone (basically aiptasia on steroids).
