Have a couple of these in my tank. At first I thought it was just another aiptasia. But I see closer the tentacles are shorter and yellow. Looks a little nicer too but not sure if they’re bad. Any help would be appreciated. I included a couple pictures hope they’re clear enough.

I added a circle exactly where it’s at. I will try and get a better picture tomorrow.

Try to get a picture with the lights on. It very well could be aiptasia. The stem reminds me of aiptasia but the disk looks like a palythoa polyp's disk. Daytime lighting would really help to ID it better.

A little better lighting here maybe it helps a bit. But yes it does look like the disk of a paly. Looks a bit like an aiptasia mixed with a paly.

I agree it is a paly or zoa.
