Brought home a very nice Leather coral today attached to some liverock. We are seeing some dark colored hairs so we were worried it was aptasia but all I have seen posted in past topics seem to be lighter colored or white?

Hoping it is tube anemone?

All I see is what looks like a couple of brittle starfish legs poking out of the rocks - I'm not seeing anything resembling an anemone in the pic.

Its the leg of a brittle star which is reef safe and eats uneaten food and detritus

I see something (other than the leg) just to the right of the leather, but to out of focus to identify.

What they do when touched?

Thank you all. That’s a relief!
I usually can Google and figure things out without having to post a reoccuring topic but I just was not having luck.

I appreciate the fast responces
