ID Me Please
I bought a rock with a mess of these on it. At first I thought they were Mushrooms of some sort. Now I'm not too sure. Is there such a thing as a Mini Anemones? The are scattered everywhere on the rock, but all of them seem to be coming out of a crack or crevice. In the one picture its in a hole and extends out.

Are there different variety's of aiptasia ? I've had my fair share, but they were all the same dull brown color with long tentacles that protrude from the rock. These are green with short tentacles that sit flat on the rock.

Mine looked more like your than his but still the same. They can be pretty but will take over a tank in no time. Zap them now before it is to late...lol

Well they're certainly not button polyps. You can see that the "skirt" on them has two levels to it. Button polyps have all of the "fringe" coming out of the button at the same place. The fringe doesn't alternate up and down like that (if anyone knows what I mean).
I still vote for aiptasia but I'm not adverse to saying they could be something else. If you're liking them that much, keep an eye on them. If another one pops up in less than 2 weeks, well, just imagine how many weeks it will take to cover that rock...and the rock next to it...and the rock next to it  Can you get a photo with less blue (ie. turn off your actinics) or is that just the light you have?
