Looks to me like aptasia.

[saltwaterseahorses]

so its an aptasia anemone? how much do you think they'd sell for?

[Chowder]

pest anemone

[saltwaterseahorses]

so its bad for my tank? :/

[turkleton]

Yes it is. They spread like mad and have the potential to sting many other tank inhabitants.

[saltwaterseahorses]

ok so should i just throw it out or sell it?

[Wingin It]

Kill it! I don't know of anyone who'd buy one of those. :) joe's juice killed mine right quick!

This more lookes like tube anemone to me.
Does it retracts in to tube like body?

[saltwaterseahorses]

well i dont know should i chuck it or give it away? because i just want to get rid of it! but then again if its a tube anemone i dont want to throw away, because thats just a waste

[hillegom]

Looks like aiptasia. = bad
Does it have a hard tube to retract into? Touch it and see. The tube will not get shorter in that case

[saltwaterseahorses]

so touch it and see, and if it sucks in the tentacles, then its........? aiptasia

How big is this anemone? I've never seen aptasia grow larger than 2"-2 1/2" across.
Although this does look similar to aptasia, I dont think it is. The tentacles seem too numerious and fine in your picture.

[saltwaterseahorses]

its pretty big

[monocus]

if it is aptasia i would be interested in it

[saltwaterseahorses]

srry i thew it, its a pest :(

[monocus]

you might get more-aptasia are notorious for spreading-if you do contact me at monocus@telus.net-i use them to feed my burghia
