Help ID: small (1cm) pink tendrilly things

[RMc]

Hi everyone,

Located in Boston MA - just started up my first salt water tank 2 weeks ago and am very excited. The tank is 24g(?) with a 10g sump - it currently has approx 45 lbs of live rock, 30 lbs of that was established for a year + in another tank. There's lots of life and the cycle was very brief.

In any event - these little guys (and Aiptasia - have a peppermint shrimp) are all over the lower part of the tank. Is there any harm in letting them exist? They're nice to look at, but if they'll be a problem down the road I'd rather take care of it now.

Thanks much,
Rob

Corynactis, or strawberry anemone. Not bad, Ive got a few tiny ones in my tank that don't seem to bother anything.

Thanks very much Pat. I'm glad to hear that they won't be the Huns to my little Rome.

Very cool hitch hiker, shouldn't harm anything. I had a few but not sure where they went
