Does anyone know what this is? Is it reef safe?

 

[meir]

The pic isn't clear but it looks to be a filter feeder in which case it Shld very well be ok

 

[Roboson]

It looks like a tiny/baby feather duster. They're great filter feeders and look really cool.

 

[meir]

Either that or some kind of Xenia looking thing

 

[Roboson]

Without a better picture it's impossible to tell, but Xenia normally isn't that brown and normally doesn't have that much variation between the stalk and the hands (and if it does, the stalk is almost always lighter) If you have one that looks like that, it's because you bought it. One good way to tell for sure though, if the stalk is soft and bendable, it's a Xenia. But if it has any sort of structure to it, it's a duster.

Peanut worm. That is its feeding trunk. The rest is inside the rock.

Thanks for the info!

It's not a peanut worm this is a peanut worm

it's more of a palm tree coral type

I don't think they are feather dusters either I'm telling you zoom in on the tentacles unlike the peanut worm or get her duster whose tentacles are thin and many this worm's tentacles are thick and few like a Xenia or a palm tree coral

Sorry for the crumby picture but right below the pineapple sponge there looks to be some kind of anemone. Is this apstasia? It's not spread only been this one guy for the length of my tank must've hitchhiked in on a frag or something.

 

[Tahoe61]

Looks like a Ball Tip Anemone/Pseudocorynactis , typically harmless.

 

[Catchemall]

Cool so will it get bigger than it is?

No, but on a second glance that looks more like an Aiptasia.

I threw them away already. Don't wanna put the critter to my tank that I don't if they are reef safe or not. Also their black body part wiggle.

I had some like it on this little poly frag rock I put them in anyway
