ID please

What could this be?
It's bright orange with some pink & green. There's two in my tank and they're minuscule, probably 5 mm. It doesn't move. Whenever I'm feeding the fishes/corals its feeder tentacles are out. I think it's a nifty lil thing, I'm just hoping it's not some sort of pest.
Thanks in advance.

Deff not a pest. its a nice hitch hiker i had the same one with the colors. But i ended up killing it. looked just like yours. it might be a chalice/ acan or something in that field.

if you get the correct ID for it one day please let me no what i destroyed.!

Looks like a acan to me. I agree with Rob&Gab definitely not a pest.

I agree acan. That would explain the tentacles.

That thing was on a mixed frag I bought once,,it sounded like symposium but I just googled it and thats not the name..mine was blue.

I'm thinking blasto? Very Hard to tell from picture though.

Here's the other one with it's feeder tentacles out

same one, better pic

It doesn't close up like a blasto would.

deffffffffff aiming for a acan!


blastos have little pointy frills on there skin, This is a great find if it is a acan. Nice colors too. try to get a little bit of a daylight shot with a little blue if you can!

I'm not convinced it's an acan, or even a chalice. Acan should have more of a "bowl" look to it, with the mouth being sunken, and the sides being higher...I'm not seeing that. It looks to soft to be a chalice (to meaty). Perhaps the coral is at an odd inflation point bc of the lower light levels at time of pics.
A "daytime" shot would help a lot!

Thanks everyone, I had a friend ID it as an acan. My primary concern was that it's not a pest (better safe than sorry mentality), I'm definitely happy with the reassurance. If it gets significantly bigger I'll update with a pic so I can have an official id.

Here's a picture w/ white light.
