Identity help?

[MikeYQM]

Ive been searching for an ID on this. Pretty small, short stocky base with skinny translucent tentacles. The tentacle tip is colored. Any ideas? I tried to silhouette it on top of the rock.

Cheers

Mike

Might be a Small aiptasia anemone.

I can't really see it that well, but does it have balls on the tips of the tentacles?

 

[MikeYQM]

It might have balls in the tip, hard to tell bet the tips are a noticeably opaque Colour compared to the tentacle.

From what I am able to see it does not look like aiptasia. It looks to me like the base of it is orange... am I right? Google ball tip anemone and see if they match up at all. There are several different kinds, I have some in my tank and I love them

Maybe a majano? Definetly not aiptasia

Corynactis or pseudocorynactis

Follow up with updated pics. Any help? They are growing slowly, but doesn't seem to be anymore than a month ago.

looks like those tiny feather dusters that usualy pop up everywhere in a mature tank
they are good

 

[heathlyng]

They are called corynactis or pseudocorynactis

 

[kylekody]

looks like pesky aptasias to me. but idk for shizz

Definitely not a feather duster. I don't think it's a majano or aiptasia, as I've had majanos in my tank and they don't really look like that. Some sort of nem most likely though.

Shucks...I just got a piece of live rock today and after I turned out the lights, I noticed 5-6 of these all different sizes!!! That sucks, because they get pretty big and eventually will eat small fish and inverts. The balls on the end are sticky and thats how they catch their food Now I have to sacrifices a rock...dang it!

Did you keep yours?

that's not the type we get in our systems. the ones you have are fine. don't bother removing the rock. they won't hurt anything.
