Hi there

you wouldn't think just to much could go on in a little 29g with out one knowing about it, but i guess it can. Another find from my tank rumaging the other day, i wish i had a digital camera so i could show you guy's a pic, but i don't, so i will do my best to describe.

This thing is an Anemone, this i know for sure, so now is it good or bad.
No color on it's foot or cylinder, (Translucent) Tenacles are all evenly spaced off the cylinder and are same length about 2 or 3 inches long, the cylinder is about 3/4 inch diameter. the tenecales have a slight tinge of purple i think. It appear's to have been stationary for some time (i think) i have moved it to a location i can see easier, about the same light but now stronger water flow.

At first i just thought Aiptasia, but the i did some research and discovered the Condy Anemone, its Hatian (sorry about spelling) and it has grown on a piece of Hatian, it would seem though that the Condy likes to move around a little, this so far has not, but then again if any sort of anemone is happy why would it move around. It must be Aiptasia, let me know what you guy's think

I could go by your place, take a digital photo, and we could post it for feedback if you'd like.Let me know.

A peppermint shrimp would help in identifying it since it will eat aptasia!

Thank's, but no need this time, a friend was by my place the other day, and figured it was Aiptasia, problem solved.
