What is it? Only thing I can think of is an anenome. IT was acutally in my sump and i added to the main tank and noticed him. It was opened just a little when i moved him and he had looked like bubble tip "arms or tentacles"
 
looks like a closed up bta or lta. That's what one of ours looks like right now.
 
i am sure its anemone but won't sure wat kinda till it start to extend...try update a pic if it come out a bit more
 
What should I do about this thing? Its cool looking but it if endanger my fish I really dont want it. Hell I have enough problems trying to keep fish by themselves.
 
I've had these anemones before and they've never become a problem. Actually, I have two of them right now. I wouldnt' worry about it.
 
Agreed, this species of Corallimorph shouldn't be a hinderance. They will spend most of their time retracted or hidden during daylight hours. Being heterotrophic, they will flourish or not based on available food sources. They do have a decent punch to them but I have yet to see an issue with the ones I have. As long as they don't reproduce in large numbers (which I doubt), they should be an interesting addition.

Cheers
