    This was on the back of a rock I moved to my new tank (from my old one). It looked like a polyp of some kind, but started to get frilly looking around the edges. Now looks like it's got almost tiny little waving hands around the edge - very tiny. I wish I could get it clearer but they all turned out blurried. Any idea what it might be?

    I really can't tell from those pictures. May be some kind of anemone but without a better picture, I'd only be guessing.

    hard tot ell from those two pics. could be something like aiptasia or a button polyp, or even a tiny lobo brain. but if its a hitchhiker, most likely an aiptasia.
