I have identified this 'shroom(I think), but I can't find info on it

Well, heres a link to the picture, its pretty neat. Its about the size of a button. Has a single mouth in the middle, and folds up at night. Can you guys help me find the real name for it, I'd like to see if I can encourage its growth.

Thanks,

**OH**

Also, I think I might have an outbreak of Aiptasia, but I don't know, I looked it up on the net and I can't find any pictures that resemble it. The closest thing is that of a bubble-tip anemone, but these area a drab orangeish/brown with what look like little condoms (sorry, but they really do!) as the extentions. Could you guys maybe help me with some pics of those as well?

Thanks again,
Matt

If that's what you have get rid of it or at least get it out of your main tank if for some reason you want to save some. Joes juice or peppermint shrimp will work very well in getting rid of it. The peppermints usually won't eat the big ones and some of them are little monsters.

There are several species of fuzzy/hairy/frilly mushrooms within the Rhodactis genus. To get a proper ID you need a very clear close up photo. You need to see the ends of the tentacles- try and see if they are they branched or not?
