hitchhiker - not aptasia.. i dont think?
This part of the forum is always my favorite cause you never know what you'll find in your tank!
I've got some little guys in my tank.. started with only a few but they seem to have spread quite a bit over the last year or so. In my early stages in the hobby I had thought they were some sort of tube worm or feather duster or something. But now that I'm a more experienced hobbiest I believe them to be some type of anemone. I'm pretty sure its not aptasia because they look a lot different and seem to not grow very large or be harmful in any way. They remain fairly small so I cant seem to get a very good picture but the best way I can describe them is mostly clear in color but they have white dots at the end of their tentacles. The closest picture I can find is this: http://shivelygallery.com/thumbs/PR2...rallimorph.jpg But its really not very close.. they are significantly smaller with no real visible color |

I have a cluster of these as well but like you said they are very small. Mine have not grown in size either. They're in a cluster. Def not aiptasia but I don't think they're what's in the link either as that one looks quite large.
