Is this aptasia or a baby toadstool?

Hey Guys,

Just noticed this small tentacle like hanging out from the base of the toadstool coral (directly from the skin, not the rock of the coral).

Is this aptasia or a baby toadstool?

Oh dang it

Should I remove the entire coral or just slice the base of the Aptasia from the coral?

I am not an expert, but....

When you touch it, does it almost completely retract and disappear?

If yes, probably aptasia. If no, probably baby toadstool.

If it is aptasia, I would try super gluing it first. That is a nice looking toadstool you have going there. I would hate to lose it.

Agree with above. Glue it first..
