Noticed this very tiny hitchhiker. Based on the appearance of the base I don’t think it’s aiptasia but not sure. Looks kinda like a feather duster

Well, the pic looks like two things, one, (this could be wrong) it kinda looks like a vermitid snail, i have something in this tank that looks exactly like you creature in question, two it could be a pineapple sponge. do you mind going in your tank and touching the creature? that will tell me what it is. note that i have both pineapple sponges and vermitid snails in my tank.
