What is this?

Hi all,

Can someone please ID this for me? I've been watching it grow on my LR for a little while now. I think it's an anemone of some sort but don't really know. Also, is it a pest or should I keep it?

Thanks

Thanks for the link but it's not there. I've had a look at lots of images on the net but can't seem to find this. Hoping someone out there has one or has seen one like this. Maybe I have to wait til it gets larger before it can be identified.

Just been looking at other threads..... It looks like maybe a Duncan Coral but it doesn't have all the branches yet. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Thanks very much Carey. Do you know if I should keep it or should I get rid of it?

not sure, it might be a rock anemone, looks like the one I have. If it is then leave it be, maybe someone else can confirm or deny my guess. lol I would keep an eye on it either way....

Ok thanks.... Will do! It is quite pretty. I hope someone can confirm it but I just looked at images of them on the net and I think you are right! ?
