What is this?

If the rock is from the Caribbean or Atlantic it could be Telmatactis cricoides.

I am not sure where the rock is from, but I think you are correct. It looks like this one:

I had a couple of them in my old system. Never could get a 100% ID but the closest I could get was a common name rock anemone. It didn't grow very much and never bothered anything. At night it would strech out but again never hurt anything. I fed it a couple of times.

Tony It's not a paly, pretty sure on that. Can't see any sand grains/ the growth is not circular parallel lines to the mouth. My best guess would be a sort of an anemone but your the expert on those so I'm stumped. Cool looking, perhaps it will color up for you?

That looks pretty close,eh!? I have one in my tank, it came on some Brazil rock. It's been there for about 3 years or so, it dwells in a cave created by encrusting and plating corals and doesn't harm a thing(that I care about anyway

), it's about the size of a toonie now. You're welcome, anytime!

I have the same thing but its growing on the back of one of my snails and its very pink, other than the colour it looks identical.
I was just asking my wife what she thought it was and was coming on here to see if I could find anything on it ... lol

That's too funny....coincidence?...I think not! They do come in pink too!
