    It looks like a ball anemone to me.. My mom saw this one floating in my tank, so I took it out. In case the pictures aren't good enough, the tentacles are clear and the tips are orange. Also, it doesn't really seem to like light.[​IMG] [​IMG]

    Interesting, though... I've never seen one detach before, regardless of flow or lighting.

    Funny thing is though, They're actually more related to Mushroom corals rather than anemones. But they're harmless little things anyway ;)
