Developed this habit of shining a flashlight into my tank at the dead of night so i can see the nocturnal ones for a bit. anyway, i noticed these last night and was wondering if anyone know what im dealing with. Yes its a bit blurry but they do not come out during the day and this was as good as i can get it

here is one

here is another one on the other side of the tank

Yup....

Can't tell for sure, but there should be no reason aiptasia would not come out during the day

"wel from wet webmedia i got this:


Unknown hitchhiker White Ball Corallimorph (Pseudocorynactis sp.) 4/27/07
<Hi Jim, Mich here.>
Would you advise your best opinion as to what this creature is.
<Yes, looks to be a White Ball Corallimorph (Pseudocorynactis sp.)>
I found it on an empty snail shell in my tank.
<Likely a hitchhiker.>
One opinion from another forum was that it is a bleached majano anemone.
<No. It is not a Majano anemone. Is a lucky addition to your tank. You might try offering this coral finely chopped fish at night or when the tentacles are extended. They are not common in captivity so enjoy it!>
Thanks for any help.
<You're welcome! Mich>
Jim"

+1 ball anemones. comes in a variety of colors but mainly clear with balls on tips of tentacles. have them sprinkled on a few pieces of LR - so far harmless in my tank. they grab floating small bits of chum mixture during feeding.
