its too small to take a picture of with the camera i have and of course i dont have access to a better camera with a macro lens. its one single pink bubble with little tiny tentacles coming off of it and everything i try in google i cant find something that looks like it. any suggestions would be great of what it could be so i can start researching and see if what you think is actually what it is. i was searching for pink aiptasia. i dont have any special lighting just the regular long strip light for a 75 so im thinking its not a coral. i have had it in my tank for a little while and i dont mind it because its kind of cool looking.
 
ok nevermind it is actually gone lol. i believe my lemarks angel i just recently moved from my QT to my main tank ate it! it was in there for a while and i just put him in a few days ago.
 
with no special lighting though? it was on a piece of rock rubble towards the front of the tank. i have a few pieces scattered around my tank to go with the bigger pieces i have. it was a spot in the front of the tank where the flow would be pretty strong. it looked like if i were to poke it with a pin it would burst like a balloon. and had a couple little tiny tentacles on it. once in a while it looked like it shriveled down flat on the rock then an hour later it would be full bloom again. it actually caught a flake the other day and i swear it ate it because it looked fatter afterwards
 
yes, zoos are tough... if there was a pic I could try to tell if I was right or wrong...
 
i tried before but you couldnt see clearly what it was or the characteristics of it. and now its gone. i dont even know how to google search for something like that. i tried many things already and came up with nothing to compare it to
 
hmmm... well it's gone... nothing you can do... maybe it was a nudibranch...
 
pretty cool sounding. wouldnt be suprised if it did eat the peice of debris it caught
 
could have been a peanut worm or feather duster, maybe a small bristle-worm there are so many possibilities of what it may have been.

i wasnt thinking it was some type of worm, i had it in my tank for close to 2 months im guessing and it always was in the same spot. never moved, the only thing that it did was look like it deflated and then inflated again in an hour or so. makes me want to get a better camera, but im not a big picture taker so it would most likely be a waste except when i want to snap pictures of my tank.
