Coral ID came in on Live rock

[CrimsonTide]

I got some Live Rock last week and there's a coral of some sort on it not sure what it is. Take a look I took pictures under blue and white. Thanks!

That is also about as puffed up as I have seen it. It also doesn't shrink much either. It's just pretty much that size.

You probably have a couple , don’t freak out and kill it. There are lots of good wild anemones besides long tentacles and BTA’s

I want to get some sexy shrimp but they're so tiny I feel they would get lost in my tank. Its not huge but still figure they'd get lost.

There is no true Aiptasia in the gulf. Only some relatives, look similar, not as invasive.
