aiptasia not retracting?

[myfrostymember]

i have something in my tank that looks like an aiptasia- only problem is that it is totaly clear with longer then normal tentacles- the tentacles are maybe 4-5 tiems the length of the mouth of the blank- and the other thing is when you touch it it doesnt retract it onlypulls the tentacles in for just a second then lets them back out again

do aiptasia ever not retract when you touch them? there is two riht next to each other then two more on the same rock but maybe a few inches away

ideas?

Sounds like a harmless feather duster to me.

no i dont thinks it a duster because the base can retract it just doesnt -when i puched down on it a little bit it went down farther then came back out after i moved away a inch or so

i think its aptasia...i just think that yours is a little tougher than others...or recover quicker from contact with something
