Hola everyone! I hope all is well.
I have a 55-gallon fish only marine tank. The tank is established and has been doing great for the past 3.5 years.
A few weeks ago, I noticed some jelly-like tentacles that have started to grow on one of my rocks. I don't think it's an anemone. I don't think it's a hydra. All I know is that the rock now looks like it's growing a crown.
I've searched the web and can't seem to find anything that will help me identify these mysterious tentacles. I have no idea if they're good or evil...If I should remove them from my tank or not...What the best way of removing them is...What they like to do on Sunday afternoons, etc.
Anyway, attached please find two pictures of these alien-like tentacles. I took these a few weeks ago. More have grown in since they were taken.
Would anyone be able to tell me what type of creature this is, what i could have done to have it suddenly appear in my tank if I haven't introduced any rocks or animals in over a year, if I should get rid of it, and - if so - could you recommend how?
Thanks!!
