[QUOTE="Rtaylor, post: 10655096, member: 166617"] I still don’t see anything. It sounds like it could be a barnacle. If so, it would look like a fan that moves regularly and fairly quickly about 180 degrees then closes before repeating. can you better describe the tentacles? Are there just a few or many? What is the shape? A barnacle is fan shaped and moves almost constantly. A feather duster opens more like a flower with a circular array of ‘feathers’. It opens and can retract very quickly, but doesn’t move much once open. A sea cucumber has fewer branches, but the are a full 360 like a feather duster, but you will see it bring 1 finger at a time to it’s mouth. Aptasia has fewer thicker tentacles and will retract quickly, but otherwise you won’t see a lot of movement. Could also be a spaghetti worm, Vermatid snail……lots of stuff. [/QUOTE]
