thanks for your help!

Yes. Looks like Aiptasia.

 

[Bill0181]

Trying again

It only comes out of some old coral Skelton on a live rock. It's clear and seems to be staying put and not spreading? The aipastia crossed my mine but doesn't look like any I've seen?

Yea that's aipastia. I have some in my tank that looks just like those. And they all started from one big one. They will prob be getting color anytime at that size.

Ok so I know we have decided on aipastia, but I have been researching and there is no tube structure like aipastia and it comes out of a skeleton. I was thinking corynactis or a ball anemone am I crazy? Thanks guys!

Aiptasia can vary all the time. Anyways, not many anemones other than pest anemones would pop up so quickly and spread like the ones in the picture.

I bought the live rock with what was thought old coral skeleton after a week or so in my qt tank I noticed the skeletons were alive with these white tipped anemones, that's all I'm saying I know it is probably aipastia but it looks different to me

Ball tip anemone not aiptasia.

 

[Longspitt]

These are most definitely corynactis and not aiptasia as you can tell from the small ball like tips. Some people consider them pests but a lot of people like them and keep them, they are'nt considered pests as much as aiptasia.

Thank you guys! I knew I should second guess myself! They will be staying no harm no foul
