Eeenie Meenie Teeny Tiny Polyp

[ZzyzxRiver]

It’s nearly impossible to photograph this thing, it’s so small that even the macro camera on my phone struggles. Here is a video and a couple pictures-it’s a polyp on the right side of the rock below the Discosoma, halfway down. Any ideas?

It looks like a micro feather duster possibly but it's really hard to tell.

Can you circle it? I see a micro feather duster but I'm not sure if thats what you're talking about

I didn’t know there was such a thing as micro feather dusters, but yeah that seems right! Thanks!

My first thought.

OP, what color is it? Tiny feather dusters are usually white and retract when startled

Aiptasia is brown, my second sad thought.

It’s white and retracts almost as fast as my yellow watchman goby when something swims by it. Most of the time it’s hidden under the mushroom. I’ve also got a peppermint shrimp that hangs out right there. Definitely not aiptasia!
