So I have noticed a couple of these in my tank, particularly on the bottom of this frag. Any ideas what they are? The little polyp looking thing hanging from the edge of the frag.

aiptasia sponge thing? check the tentacles at the end

That is not aiptasia. I see no aiptasia in that picture. The small polyp under the frag is a pineapple sponge. Harmless.

Ok cool. I did not think it was aiptasia because aiptasia tends to have a thinner stalk and squiggly tentacles. If this is harmless then it gets to stay.

Thank you!
