Hitchhiker anemones

[John3]

Thought I would share a pic of a hitchhiker anemone that came on my live rock from the Gulf. I believe they are lightbulb anemones. I used to feed them and then they had fatter tentacles but I don’t bother anymore.

They haven’t spread but I did get a lot. I killed off the majority but left a back corner with some. Not the best looking but still pretty cool. For scale purposes the red mushroom is a little bigger than a quarter.

They almost look like a giant aptasia. I think I'm having a mini heart attack at that thought ;Nailbiting

Lol, yeah I was pretty worried these would spread like fire but they haven’t. They are pretty hardy, the only way I could kill them was injecting boiling water.
