    Filter feeder or Aptasia?

    Hi all, Bought this torch and I have a question on one of the items growing out of the side? The one on the left is a filter feeder but is the one on the right aptasia? It’s sensitive to light and retracts straight away.

    Is this aptasia?

    As the title says. I took the picture with my reef lights out using my iPhone with the flash on. Right under the head of my blasto. I’ve never had aptasia before but from what I know of it I think that might be what it is. Appreciate any input.
