strange anenome ID

[Starry]

Can someone tell me what this is?
Sorry about pic quality.
I found this in my sump yesterday while trimming my cheato.
Its pink, has many sticky, ball tip tenticles, and can eat small mysis.
It has a foot, but hasnt moved as of yet. Bout the size of a pencil eraser.
Any ideas, good or bad?

Caribbean Mushroom,Pseudocorynactis a coralimorph, I've never heard of them harming anything when they are only small - Most people find them just minding their own business behind a rock or in a sump.If you read online there are mixed reviews though,some people think they can cause problems. there is a larger species (orange ball anemone) that has been reported to eat fish but I think it's like 6" with bright orange balls, not pink or white


Not sure if that helps but I think the ID is correct. I'd try googling the name and see if the pics match.

They look like what are commonly called "Orange Ball Anemones", which aren't actually anemones at all, but corallimorphs (mushroom corals). But...I could be wrong.

Hah...oops. Looks like I missed your reply, Keri. Too slow on the draw.

Keri, Chef:
After a bit of reading I'd say you were right.
I'm gonna leave it be for now as other than pods, Cheato, bristle worms,and a few sponges I dont have anything else in my sump. Gonna keep an eye on it though.:neutral:

I have them too, they seem to prefer the sump (or maybe something I have eats them out of the display). Never been anything but an interesting thing to spot at night for me .. totally harmless I think.
