Aiptasia

[whaase]

I have noticed this thing on the bottom of a rock I have. It only opens up fully when the lights are off. It has moved around a bit. It looks like some pictures of aiptasia I've seen, 1/2 across, brown. When I pulled the rock out of the water to get a closer look, it closed up like a polyp. This is the only one i can see in the tank. I tried to get a picture, but I just can't get a close up shot in my tank for some reason... Any ideas?

I don't think aptaisia moves around. Possibly some other anemone?

I don't know! I wish I could get a picture. I'll see if I can find something that 'looks' like it.

Ok, here is the best picture I could get. It is left of the "mystery" snail. It is about half open here. It has move about 2" from the first time I saw it.

Move the rock closer to the glass. I can't see!

It's against the glass! I just can't get a close up picture in the tank...
