Identification please

This was on a mushroom colony that I got. It looks like an anemone but not sure what kind.

Orange ball anemone, can kill small un-cautious fish but they are usually fine.
It is actually a type of mushroom.

Thanks. So you think it will be ok to leave it in there? Also how big do they grow?

 

[rovster]

Generally harmless. You'll usually see them in darker areas of the tank. I have a few in mine. That's a great picture BTW, they are hard to photograph.

 

[username in use]

agreed with the above. Generally harmless and cool to see.

 

[eric1283]

How big do these guys grow? I fed it a piece of shrimp the other day and it ate the whole thing and it was a piece almost as big as it is.

 

[llandegfedd]

Yes, an orange ball corrallimorph. I have a pink one.

 

[tektite]

They stay small, usually under 1"

finally.. I've got a few (almost iridescent/rainbowish in the DT and boring plain ones in the sump) but could never get a clear picture to post up here to find out what it is.
