Found this a few days ago, but I misplaced my memory cards during the move, so I was just able to get a shot.

Looks like the beginning of a cauliflower coral (pocillopora) , but I'm not sure. It does seem to have feeder tubes of some sort... they extend more at night.

It's tiny - smaller than a dime in diameter.

Keep in mind I've added NO new LR in almost a year, so this guy has been around for quite awhile...

Looks like there are 2 varieties - the pseudocorynacdtis, and the coryniactism, which doesn't get big enough to be too dangerous. If it's the former, looks like I might need to remove it. It does retract when the light comes on, just like the description of the carribean variety of the pseudo states.

Either way, it's a beautiful creature.
