What is it?

[freezerrat]

I'm curious as to what something is. A while back I got a rock with a toadstool from a fellow reefer. On the underside of the rock is something with perfectly clear tentacles and white/pinkish tips. It has been there as long as I had the rock and it has grown somewhat. I'm just wondering what it might be. I can't get a good pic due to its location and lack of light.

Get rid of it?

 

[stickx911]

if you can, and if that is really what it is (its what it sounds like at least). But its not the end of the world. I have 1 aptasia that for the life of me I cannot not get rid of...so I just enjoy it now. one wont ruin the tank, but with a glass its hard to spot new ones, and they multiply pretty quickly...let someone else pipe in, but I sat try to get rid of it, but do not stress it.

Sounds more like a pseudocorynactis or Caribbean corallimorph to me and if it is it is probably harmless. They pretty much stay in the dark and open up more at night.

Pseudocorynactis!! WOOHOO!!
I googled it and that is what it looks like. I'm glad I don't have to get rid of it. It's kind of nice looking for the underside of a rock.
