This thing is so small I can’t get a good picture.

I don’t even know if it’s visible in this picture, but there’s a tiny black organism(?) in my tank that has these tiny hairs all over it. Has anyone else seen anything like this? What is it? First thing that comes to mind is maybe a lil urchin? I have no idea. Any help is appreciated.
 
gonna need a better pic. looks like aiptasia to me in that photo.

Yeah it’s just so small I can hardly capture it on camera. It really didn’t look like aiptasia though. It looked like it was supported by cilia in person, that’s why I thought it might be a tiny urchin.
