LR hitch hiker ID?

[mhe]

Hi,

Anyone know what this thing is that came on some LR I got recently from someone on the BRS?

It's about 1/2 the size of a dime, polyps retracted during the day/light, extended at night, the base is deep red, the polyps/tentacles are clear with a bulb at the end.

This first pic is with the tentacles retracted...

This one is with the tentacles extended

Any ideas?

Thanks!

pseudocorynactis spp... it is a small corallimorph. Kind of like a small anemone. realted to mushroom polyps.
it will eat meat. if you want more.. feed it. it also filter feeds and catches whatever it can. very nice color on that one.. cool animal to have.
