Aiptasia?

[svreef]

At first, I thought these were aiptasia but now I see they have tentacles similar to Anthelia. Thoughts?

Looks a bit odd for aiptasia; more like anthelia? waving hand?

My PTSD isn't triggering that isn't aiptasia, but I would say if I saw that at a glance I would yank that whole rock out and dealt with it just because. And yeah I see some tentacles poking out from behind/in front(?) that half open zoa that does kind of trigger me... That said anthella is banned from the swaps for a reason... but it's not nearly as bad as aiptasia

Does not look like Aptasia.

Not aiptasia.

We do have a large anthelia in the tank but it’s purple - not brown like these.

I have never seen aptasia or majanos with frills/branches on the tentacles.
They should be smooth from base to tip.

So yes, seems like anthelia to me.

People aren’t seeing the second less obvious harder to see one?

There’s two that I see in the lower part of the picture and one more a little above. All three look like the same species to me.

Can be different color as well.

Looks cocktail size for a pod of some sort...
