Unidentified creature, ooohhhhhh spooky

[duc]

Anyone know what it is? It has been alive and growing for a while now, some sort of hitchhiker, it has a tube and lives under a rock in the mostly shaded area. Never seen it eat and no unexplained deaths but it is getting bigger, currently the disc part is as big (if not bigger) as a quarter.

[ansonluna]

[duc]

Interesting! I was thinking bad not good, will those survive in low light?

from what i understand zoos, zoas....whatever they're called......are pretty dang hardy and almost impossible to kill. you can have crappy water conditions and poor lighting....but i'm no expert and have not conducted any field tests....yet.

Does it have "bulbs" at the end of the tentacles? Majano Anemone, but hard to see from here :P

Hard to say fro sure but if I had to guess I would say no. Are there tube anemones? It has a foot like my BTA.

Aptasia.

Aptasia.
If it is then it will be one for the record books, I have never seen one quite like it more less as big <_<

I have seen them grow LARGE.

[duc]

I have seen them grow LARGE.
Me too but this is short and fat looking like a sand anemone, not aptasia.

[mathias]

I have had a aptasia with like a 8 inch tube trying to reach light

[Tim Marvin]

Yes, looks like some type of anemone not a zooanthid.

Reminds me of a majano, I have several of them in my tank and I love them. Ack, quit trying to hit me! I really do like them!
