Looks like a species of aiptasia.

I took like 15 pictures and this was the best of the best! I just bought snails and Limpets. I was wondering if these could be Limpet eggs, they were not there before! Thanks!!!

 

[Lionfish Lair]

They most definitely could be.

They most definitely could be.

That's what I was hoping, but it's hard to tell for sure. The Limpet finally moved off and the right end of it seems to be a bit more raised like pictures I've been looking at than the left. Do you have any idea as to what the chance of survival would be? I'm going to try and find a little about their life cycle! It has really been an amazing week of discovery in my tank! I also have a small clam that hitchhiked in with my snails! Thank you!
Just for fun - here's a pic!

If they're kind of raised, than I would def say limpet. They lay eggs a little different sometimes..... like a squirt from a tube of toothpaste,. Not as round as that though. I don't know about success.

That's kind of what it's like! This will be interesting to watch anyway! Hopefully some will survive!

Any idea what this is? Good or bad? It looks like a flat snail without a shell white with black specks.

Can anybody tell me what this round pink thing is i see 2 in my 14 gallon biocube

Strawberry ball tip anenome they are kinda harmless but will sting corals. So if you can chip it off now before they reproduce and sting other corals. I have a few in my tank and have for years.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Is it perfectly flat or does it have little filaments sticking up, like 2 antenna on one end maybe a little tuff on the other.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Which end is leading, the side with the two larger black dots, or the other?

It is perfectly flat (no antennas) the two black dots look like they are at the back and it move across the glass like a snail.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Well it definitely is a flatworm, but I'll see if I can find out a little more.

 

[Eckolancer]

Maybe it could be some new species that kills pest flat worms or redbugs. Do you still have it alive?

Is it "casting" a line like fishing and bringing it back in repeatedly? Or is it a web that's been cast out and is sitting across the coral, for lack of a better way to say it.
