Feather duster or anemone

[corosato]

Trying to figure out if this is a feather duster some sort of tube anemone? It’s very hard to get a photo of it just noticed it today on a piece of my gulf live rock. I thought feather duster at first but it’s fluorescent. It’s in a weird spot to be a rock flower.

Hard to tell what we’re supposed to be looking at, could you repost with clearer imagine and circle the area of interest!

it's like dead center of the tank facing inwards to my rockwork, so hard to get the camera to focus on it lol. i turned off the flow completely in the tank to see if it closed up but it did not. It looks somewhat flat so I'm wondering if it IS a hitchhiking rock flower but knowing my luck it's a bad anemone.

Can you get a white light picture hard to tell with blue this will help members give you a ID you want

Looks like aiptasia or hydroid to me

It kind of looks like a pineapple sponge, but I can't tell for sure.

Hiding it won’t help lol… it’s best to get it out now or superglue over it.

I have a similar looking thing in my aquarium too. What is it?

Just having fun
It does not look like aiptasia, but it's difficult to identify from the pictures.

Ok so that isn't aiptasia (so probably not that invasive) @ISpeakForTheSeas?

it's so tiny it's hard to get good photos >< honestly if it wasn't glowing green under the blue light I probably wouldn't have even noticed it

Most likely a Majano anemone if it’s glowing green.. same as aiptasia but doesn’t spread like crazy… it’s easier to get rid of..
