    This has slowly been getting bigger and bigger. Initially I thought it was another mushroom developing.... Now it looks ... ImageUploadedByTapatalk1352049762.108747.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1352049770.957816.jpg .....evil. :(

    Maybe some sort of Anemone?

    Wow it looks so similar to the Mushroom, I wouldn't have disagreed with you. Bump for sanity.

    I agree, it looks like an anemone - perhaps a rock or actually BTA? it has the white lines around the mouth......

    I'm voting mushroom... possibly a Ricordia hybrid. I'm not seeing any type of tentacles to indicate a nem, but it's certainly no known "evil" hitch hiker. I'd suggest keeping a close eye on it and post new pics if/when it's appearance changes.

    Sure has a nice pink color :D, I had something like that in my tank, but my Peppermint Shrimp ate it so I didn't get to see it do much. It sure doesn't look much like a Anem at that stage. Interesting really.

    Looks like a majano anemone to me.

    Possibly some type of plate coral.
