found this guy this morning, it kinda looks like a baby frogspwan or somthing. any ideas? it has tinticals with colored tips like frogspwan, but not shure.

Look like flatworms to me, but you said it has tentacles....maybe aptasia?? Kinda hard to see.

see if this helps. it is conected at a base.

Looks like a pale majono anemone (often considered a pest anemone) IMO not as bad as aptasia and cool looking (fully colored they are green with red tips). However, you need to keep them in control. I used to do what I called selective genocide, blast almost all of them with Joe's juice when population started getting big but leave a couple, because I liked them.

I no longer have any after bleaching all of my rock earlier this year.

Shaded out baby majano. Give it some light and it will go from brown to perhaps green and pink. They spread like crazy and are pests. Watch it if you like it, I would get rid of it.

LOL, just read Kris's post, great minds think alike:lol::lol:

are these bad?

Orange ball nems are typically transparent with little orange ball tips. This one is appears more tan and green

Pseudocorynactis caribbeorum

Be that as it may, if any type Pseudocornattis or majano, get rid of it.

+1 on this, MGDMirage is most likely right. I have several, or used to have several, in my rockwork. They are pretty cool looking, stay about dime sized, don't seem to spread to plague proportions, and seem to like extremeley low light conditions, meaning they do not compete with your corals for space. They tend to be translucent with white or orange ball tips. Just be be safe though, I would "consider" getting rid of it. In your 10 gallon tank they might be easy to control if it did spread, in a larger tank it is usually a good idea to get rid of things early, because once they spread they are sometimes impossible to deal with without breaking down an entire tank.

Yeah, a hypo filled with boiling water into the mouth will turn it into instant soup

i'll take your word for this, since it's on a frag rock that came from your tank . thank you.

thank you, if it becomes a problem or spreads i will use this tactic.

Here's a pic I took of one in my tank

yup, thats what it is. did you keep them in there?

I just kind of left them alone, they did not cause any problems. I have since replaced all of my live rock with new rock, so most if not all of them are out of my tank, probably still have a few in the frag tank though.
