Default Help: Featherduster or Apastia?

I know the picture's bad but can you help me ID this? They are about 1/2 inch diameter and disappear into the rock instantly if anything goes near them. I'm guessing featherduster but want to make sure they aren't Aiptasia.

Looks like featherdusters to me. Aiptasia only seem to disappear like that when you poke them

I've got lots of dusters that look just like that. I've also had aiptasia and it doesn't look like that.

Thanks, I'll leave them alone then. They are on underside of a ledge in my tank.

yeah looks too frilly to be an anemone (look close for distinct tentacles). I vote duster too.

Default great!

I have these things all over my tank in different colours and could never get a pic to ask what you just did. That's a bonus!
