Hello,
New member to RC; this is my first post because I have unable to ID the following growth on my LR. Please see pictures. For size comparison you can see the legs of my skunk shrimp in the first pic.
I would like to think it's not Aiptasia as the tentacles are not smooth. Not sure if it is a form of polyp, hydroid, etc. It does respond (curls up slightly) to touch stimuli from my skunk shrimp.
These are very small, < 1/2 - 3/4 inch tall. They appear to be on 1-2 pieces of my live rock, but do not seem to be increasing in individual size much (at least since I've started watching).
Any info would be much appreciated. Looking forward to your replies.
