Live Rock Hitchhiker ID
So I just set up a new tank on Wednesday and I noticed this hitchhiker inside one of the live rock crevices. It's a tan colored disk, with round with zig-zaged edges, and in the exact center no more than 6 tentacles. It seems to inflate/come out during the day and at night reduces to something barely visible within the rock. Any one know what this might be? I have attached photos of it during different times of the day. Any help is appreciated!

I just searched the rock flower anemone online. It is definitely not that. This creature has no bright coloration

Not all of them have bright colors though.

Do they have tentacles on the border or right in the middle?

update: it seems half deflated. Maybe some type of worm?

Kind of looks like a discosoma (sp?) mushroom to me. A better photo would help a lot.

Mushroom. Readjust the rock towards light and get a better pic. No positive ID yet so it probably isn't bad. Just got lucky and picked up a rock with a good coral on it

But to OP yes sorry pics are a bit too blurry to provide accurate ID....any characteristics you can provide would help as well....does it move when you touch it....does it move slow or fast....tentacles long and skinny or short and fat....or none at all....does it look like it has a mouth in the middle...better pics under better lighting would definitely be appreciated
But may be a mushroom of sorts. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk |
