Hitchhiker ID help


Does this little guy look familiar to anyone.....I added these zoos about a week ago, and did not see this guy. The polyps directly next to him are staying closed, so I assume he is not friendly. Hopefully I got a good enough picture.

Thanks !!

I have these in my tank. They have stayed to their rock and I was told they are just typical yellow polyps. I am getting a little nervous. Do not want an outbreak.

Murphy,

I paid for the yellow polyps.......don't want to kill those....the brown fella with striped tentacles is the dude keeping the zoo polyps closed around him.....

He is a fast bugger though.......tried twice last night to get him and he sucks in real fast......moved the rock up high this morning to get a better shot when he is back open......

Whew. I thought it was the yellow guys you were talking about. I just eliminated some Aiptasia and was thinking not again. When I saw your post, I started looking at them and began to think that they are kinda like Aiptasia. Well I guess they are not. Feel better now.
