Greetings all!
I was wondering if any of you could help me to ID this new resident on my rock. It sprang up (or moved out of hiding) literally overnight and I just want to make sure it's not a pest. It doesn't look like aip/maja to me, but I'm far from an expert! System's been running strong for years, no new rock added in quite awhile. The closest thing it might bother are the palys in the pic, not too worried about them for now. It is about dime-sized, has a soft disc and short tentacles with whitish tips. It doesn't appear to have a skeleton like a rhizo. As you can see in the pic the disc has stripes of green, white and tan. Pic was taken with 10k HQIs on, the green really pops when just the VHO actinics are on though. I don't want to kill it if it's not a pest species, any suggestions would be helpful!
I originally posted this in the reef discussion forum but it was suggested to me to post here as well. Thanks in advance for any input!
