Hitchhiker help

[Scott48]

I was feeding my acans and noticed this small torch like hitch hiker on a small piece of rock my leather is attached to in the sand. I dont have any torch in my tank so i know its not that, its about dime sized if that and it has clear tentacles with white tips. Anyways if anyone knows what it is and if its bad or nothing at all thanks.

If that is what it is a quick read shows that it is a Corallimorph - similar to a mushrooms (anemones). They don't appear to be fast growers, HOWEVER - they have a large appetite and are apparently very sticky. anything that comes in contact with them might be done for - that includes small fish or passing hermits.

from the pics I saw there are some very pretty variants!

maybe ball nem? pretty sure, hard to tell from pic...and they are okay. If it starts to darken up, though? like maroon or green with pink tips. NOT GOOD.
