Glass Anemone: Please Help Identify

I have a piece of LR I recently aquired, which came with all sorts of hitchikers. A couple mini sepent stars, snails, feathers and all sorts of odd things.

But in particular I found 3 of these glass anemones. They kindof open and close a bit like a feather duster.

They don't like light at all, even a dim flashlight has them retracting. They are extremely difficult to see and unless the light is shining at proper angle, you cannot see em.

In the picks I circled them, ball tips on long clear arms, the ball ends are pretty clear also, just the light gets caught in them pretty good compared to the rest of it.

At first look I almost though majano, but I don't think so anymore.

The arms/tentacles move about searching for food particles and are actually fairly active. Not just flowing in the breeze.

If they are harmfull to my inhabitants, I can make them dissapear fairly easy while they are still on this one rock.

Any ideas?

Yes the pictures are tough, heck, you can barely see them, so I was surprised I even caught them this good.

But... They are light sensitive.

RFG Do they cause problems? I heard that they will typically grow underneath rocks etc. Being that they don't seem to like the light I can't see them getting all over the place like aiptaisia.

Can they get big? If I'm going to keep them I would like to see them better :grinyes:

Hmmm, guess I shall delete them when I get back in a week or so.

My method is rather simple. I have a syringe from my ink refill kit that works perfect. I boil up some water, shoot it directly on em (aiptasia so far). Then I fill it one more time and blast the thing again only this time pulling the plunger back and sucking the dead thing out of the tank.

Works like a charm.

Mine are rather small, the big ones I guess I would use the shop vac :rofl:
