ID help: anemone?

[eliphant]

Ok so I decided to take a quick look at the take just before lights out a few minutes ago and saw this little... thing... in between some closed up zoas. I want to say it's some sort of tiny nem like a strawberry nem except it has some green towards the middle with white tips. I've never seen this before and checked online to see if I could get a similar picture but no luck. Can anyone chime in on what it is? Thanks

Agreed. I'm not sure exactly what specie it is, but it's unwelcome.

I have a few of those on the underside of a clam shell (one actually touches the clam too) and on a rock in my system. Never had any ill effects and in upwards of 2 years they have not grown or spread at all. I'm taking the leave it be stance.

I am going to follow along. I have a few of this in my tank. Mine dont have green just red and white they have not grown larger. They are about a 1/4" I to have left them alone with no ill effects? Are the ill effects coming?

It looks like a Caribbean corallimorph to me. It's a mostly harmless hitchhiker, opens up at night and likes to be in darker places. Peppermint Shrimp will eat them if you are worried about it.

My worry would be that there are closed up zoas around it. Even if it's not stinging them, it's obviously bothering them somehow.

WHOA!!!!!! No nuking those guys!!! They are great. Strawberry nems.

If nothing else I will buy it from you. They will multiply but not to rapidly. They also do not seem to be very aggressive either.

If it's what I think it is, it's harmless. I believe it's a Ball Anemone (Pseudocorynactis). They are more cool than anything else.

I have a few of these in my tank. Like someone else stated earlier, they open at night. Mine are on the back side of my rock or just inside holes in the rock. they've never been close enough to any corals of mine for me to see if they are harming anything.

It seems as if its bother the zoas
