Please ID: pink gummy looking thing
Okay, so I just setup my tank yesterday and put in a bunch of live rock that has been cycling for a while in barrels. I noticed this pink gummy thing on one of the rocks last night, then this morning it was on the other side of the tank, and now it is crawling up one of the sides of the tank! Can someone please let me know what it is, thanks!

it's crawling? Perhaps it is a type of anemone...they can move around a bit.

This is a website someone showed me whenever I first joined on here. Maybe it'll help you identify too. Best of luck to you

I have two of those in my 150gal that rode in on LR. I was told by my brother in law, who has been in the hobby for a long time, that they are anemone's and basically harmless. Mine will show up for a day or two then be gone for weeks at a time, then show up again for a day or two. I haven't had a problem with mine at all. If you get a scientific name I.D. on yours please let me know. I would love to know exactly what these little guys are.
