This guy came in on newly bought live rock this Sunday. It glows orange under the blues which is what originally caught my eye. About the size of my thumbnail.

I’m hoping whatever it is will live through then cycle. I’m thinking it might be a mushroom of some type but am not 100%. Sorry for the crap photos it’s hard to get a clear shot of it as it’s a bit closed up and tiny.

Oooohhhh! You have a baby rock anemone. A beauty at that. Great hitch hiker. We pay big bucks for those. Easy care. Just keep lower in the tank with low to moderate flow. Feed by broadcasting the tank. Can also feed small mysis and such. I used to feed mine krill to the bigger ones. Fun to watch eat.
 
Definitely a rock flower anemone. Congrats!!
