Help with Identification

[theprince]

A new creature appeared in my tank that I would like help identifying. It is about 1/2 in diameter, looks a bit lit a piece of lint, has a definite center and tentacles with white bulbs on the ends. Any ideas? The picture got a bit blurry as I blew it up.

i am guessing it is an aptasia. not good, they can spread fast and can sting corals

I have found a few of the typical brown aptasia that I am am aggressive at killing by shooting with concentrated calcium. The difference with this creature is how fine the tentacles are. I have learned that aptasia can be brown or yellow. Is white also an option?

Looks almost like a Condy to me ??

not sure, maybe just keep an eye on it and see what happens

Do a search on Pseudocorynactis. These aren't great to have, but they don't spread nearly as fast as aiptasia.

Look at the picture as the bottom of this article http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/oct2002/invert.htm
