ID on this Anemone thing?

[Nicknackzz13]

Found it alive and well on my dry base rock i added to the tank!


Aiptasia comes to mind because ive had baby aiptasia on a piece of rock i had ages ago which i quickly dried out! in the sun!, now on my new base rock i bought i seen this, its much fatter looking than the aiptasia ive found on other rocks in the past

any ID?

Ball anemone possibly?

Ball anemone for sure, they are not a problem.

you think so? do they take long to grow?

how the heck did it survive being in dry rock! haha

 

[Coral Freak]

They will not get bigger just open up more, my guess is you had other live rock in the aquarium, and it walked there

Nope, i bought it and in the bag bringing it home i saw it, didnt think much of it, checked every few days and its starting to open more
thats how i know its alive, i bought it as base rock, for $5
