Need help identifying this please
Noticed this on my LR today and I have no idea what is is. It's a little smaller than a dime and has small hair like things on the sides of it. It moves around a lot and has a stalk type thing it rises up on. Any ideas?? Thanks for reading!

Looks like some type of polyps. The frilly tips make me thing it could be a rock flower anemone... maybe. I'd give it some time and see how it does. Looks very cool, but not something I'd be concerned about.

I almost want to say an upside down jellyfish (but I have only really seen them on the sandbed), but Cindy is probably right or at least super close. Does it move at all?

It actually moves around a lot, it always stays on my LR though.

Wait, I just looked at it again. Do a search on limpets.

I was just about to suggest a limpet, then I saw this had been already suggested in the last post. Limpet was what immediately came to mind when I first saw the photos - though these don't show enough detail to be sure.

That makes sense, that it's a limpet. That would explain the curved tip on the top that had me confused. Gotta say, I've never seen one like it. It's really pretty.

Thanks for the great advice everyone. I'll have to keep an eye on it and see what happens!
