I have been crazy busy lately and neglecting my tanks. Took a minute last night during feeding to look around and spotted what looks like a coral larva settled onto a piece of rock. I have no idea what it could be, mixed reef, and I've found no others. Any ideas? Bad pics attached. PS, not referring to the aptasia, I know what that is, white item in photos.

Hmm, I would guess more like a pine apple sponge or something similar?

I see tentacles and a mouth. Not a sponge but it's also quite hard to ID in these pics. Let it grow and we'll see :)

Definitely has a mouth and what appear to be tentacles or ?. I have octorals, mushrooms, acropora, a few different LPS, anemones, bi-valves,sponges,gorgonians. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, a true mixed reef.
