    Not sure that's aiptasia... the base seems too thick from what I can see.
    Can you take one with flash?

    cant get the camera to take a good pic with flash. but then again im not good at using the new camera either. it does have a fat base and the base is about as tall as the tenicles. right now it is deflated and i cant even pick it up with the camera now.

    it looks like it is in a whole and is trying to reach the light. like anything it puffs up with water, explaining why it has a thick base. Aiptasia is a problem IMO, aggressive and populates fast.

    Definetly not aiptasia, or atleast from the pic. aiptasia dont have that many tentacles and are much skinnier in general. try to isolate it or break part of the rock off or something
