    Button polyps, a zoanthid

    The hitchhiker looks like it is a feather duster.

    Tell us a little more about the hitchhiker. It is hard or soft how fast is retracts things like that please.

    So hard to tell, keep track of it and observe as best you can. It could be a coral of some sort also. Does it always have that shape?

    I had similar in my tank, it was aptasia. It was clearish on the top, and a redish base. Keep an eye on it!
