Hello fellow reefers,

Really no idea what this is - just pulled it out. Any clue?

Thanks!
Matthias

Has the anemone opened for you to figure out what it is yet? Could be an awesome freebie. I understand not wanting it, when you were expecting nothing but chaeto from a reputable source

Lights are slowly coming on in my Coral QT in the next hour. I will get a better look then.

Here's the guy.. Is that... Aiptasia?

*** EDIT 1:22 PM PST ***
I pulled out the Aiptasia and do not believe that's what I got from AlgaeBarn. The Aiptasia was too small compared with what I put in last night. However, still no luck finding what it was. It disappeared into the vast aquascape in the QT.. (haha). I'll report back in case it shows itself..

I put the nem into the Coral QT tank last night into a cup with slits. This morning the nem was gone from the cup and about two inches away on the glass this showed up. I am looking at my Coral QT every day pretty intensely to see what's going on with the QT corals and I did not see any aiptasia yesterday.

Could it be a coincidence and the nem from the Chaeo is somewhere else in the 20g tank? Remotely possible. But likely?

I will keep looking throughout the day though. However I don't feel good about it and don't know whether I should pull the Chaeto from the DT refugium..
