Flower on my monti?

[AbsoluteFaye]

Ok I'm stumped. What is this adorable flower creature on my monti? It's stationary and sits slightly off the rock and blows in the current ever so slightly. As far as I know it's out all the time. Doesn't seem to get "scared" like feather dusters. Suggestions?

Actually now that I'm looking at the pic there's two of them.

I see 3 but have no idea what it might be

Touch it and see what happens.

Looks like they may be small rock flower anemones. Whatever they are they look nice and colorful.

I'll touch them tomorrow. I see 3 in the pic now too. They're just so prefect looking.

So I checked with a flashlight just now to see and the flowers are gone, tucked into their own little holes in the rock. I'll try to touch them tomorrow but they're soooo tiny.

I've never seen that before but it's pretty cool hopefully they're not a pest. That's a nice monti too

Thanks! Yeah they never came back out today so I couldn't touch them. Very strange looking. There's a small hole where the biggest one was. Can't seem to see anything by the smaller two. I'll just keep an eye on them. I was thinking maybe some sort of feather duster but they are shaped different. Totally stumped on this one.

Hahaha I love Mr Xs reply touch it haha

That's usually my first move if I don't know what some thing is too. I spent an hour looking around last night thinking maybe it was some type if star and couldn't find anything. Hope someone figures it out because I'm intrigued now

 

[AbsoluteFaye]

Yeah I looked up a bunch of stuff on google. Couldn't find anything. It was swaying in the current slightly so it must've had a foot or "stem" of some sort. I'll keep looking I guess!

Look up rock anemone, the serrated tentacles match and there are some really colorful ones.

 

[AbsoluteFaye]

I have a bunch of them so I know what they look like. I don't think it's the babies. I had two babies in a bag once when a bought the anemone and they didn't look like that. One of the small guys came back today but the other two are still MIA.

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Anyone figure this out? I'm still intrigued

 

[AbsoluteFaye]

I've googled sooo many things. Can't find anything. I only have two left it looks like. I'm still stumped.
