    Saw this guy on the rock my cleaner shrimp came on. Tried to get the best picture I could. Is it some form of anemone? Harmful or ok? Will be transitioning to the 120g tank over the weekend and will leave the rock out if he's trouble. Any ideas?

    Almost looks like a little mushroom.. Hard to tell though. Keep an eye out, but I wouldn't worry about it.

    I agree. Possibly a mushroom, but it also looks like it could be cabbage leather.

    I third the mushroom. I just moved some mushroom rocks... and it looks like some of new small ones I saw. Keep the rock at the front of the big tank for a week or two so you can watch it maybe.
