What is this?

I have had this rock for a few months. when i got it I only had 1 acan on it, now it has three. Anyways there was a hitch hiker or something on it. And i dont know what it is. It looks like green glitter in the center. It was really small when i first got it. Know there is three there also. Its hard to see in the pics because i took it with my phone. I will take one with my camera later. but if u really look u can see the babies coming out on the bottom of the larger 1

It looks like a pest anemone to me, commonly called aptasia. I haven't seen any with green glitter coloration, but that doesn't mean they don't come with those spots.

I was thinking the same thing till I seen the small 1s growing too. I have an aptasia pop up every once in a while, but none like that and I never seen them grow that close to each other. It doesn't have a base like an aptasia or anemone. I will get a pic with an actuall camera later on today.

Sorry it took me a few days to post another pic X. I moved the rock in hoping to get a better pic, but my camera is no better then my phone . Here u go. U can really se the baby in the 1st pic. They have been growing for about 4 months and only the size of an acan.

I don't know for sure. I wish you could take a clearer pic.

Hey X. I was doing something I'm my tank and touched whatever it and it closed up. Here is a decent pic of it closed. Doesn't really look like aptasia . Hope it helps

No. It doesn't. Aptasia would have probably disappeared. I can't identify it.
