looks to be an aptasia, also called glass anemones. kinda cool at first when nothings in the tank but they can get out of control and take over. apparently they can be taken care of with a paste of kalkwasser injected into the center or a product called joes juice. also peppermint shrimp are supposed to eat em but i have yet to see it.

i like joes juice best, but boiling water also works

ok. I'll have to see about getting that done.

. . And here I was excited for my new discovery! *sigh*

When they are in the sand like that you can often just use the handy dandy turkey baster method. They come out intact and you can just flush them
