Growing on my LR

[mikewurtz]

There are several organisms growing on my live rock and they seem to be multiplying. I can get a pic if necessary later tonight, but for now a short description:

They are dime sized pink with a jelly like body with several white balls on the end of very short fine hairs.

Any ideas?

Ball anemone? They are very small and come in all sorts of colors. I have tons of clear ones.

Here are the best pics I could get ( sorry for the low quality ):

Yep, ball anemones.

Ball anemone. They are safe. They usually don't live very long. If you feel yours are spreading and getting out of control, you can zap them with some Aiptasia X.

I have those. They are the most interesting thing in my tank, aside from the fish LOL Mine spread really fast, but not out of control. They can get big. If you want, you can spot feed them some mysis. But as BIff said, they can get out of control and just zap them :)

I have a couple of those -one green and one red. If you feed them will get bigger fast.
