    Ok, lol i know i have been asking a lot of questions about my tank lately, but i am hungry for knowledge. The pic below was taken this am about ten minutes after lights turned on. The arms on this guy move with the flow of the tank. Think it is a filter feeder of some sort. Does anyone know what it is? In addition, it is very small. The photo was taken with iphone4 zoomed in.

    I agree on and anemone, most likely Aiptaisa. Get rid of it would be my advice.
