So this little anem came in on my seaweed for the refugium. No clue what it is (a condy maybe) looks brown in regular light glows red in blue light. Really just no clue. Very long tentacles.

That's an aiptasia. You may not believe it, but they can get over two inches across if left alone to grow! Flush it now, I wouldn't take the chance putting it in the tank.
