Something growing

[hunterd_67]

I have this reddish/pink with a little bit of white disc growing about the size of a quarter, it looks like it has tentacles, when i first noticed it, it was all white and not very big and just a few min ago my emerald (old yellow) started to walk across it and he litteraly jumped off of it, so id say he got stung, ive been doing a search on it, i just keep coming up with anemone, i no my light aint bright enough to really grow anything, besides the unwanted stuff, sorry for the long post and TIA.

sounds like some sort of anemone- do you have a picture? If you're not sure what it is, if you have a sump, put it in there, that way it won't harm any of your other cirtters.

I cant get a good angle on it to take a pic, with a reg cam, if it is a anamone, i dont no how its growing on 40 watts of light. TY SaltyQueen

could be aiptasia or some other pest anemone. they usually don't need much light

shrooms do like lower light areas. wait till it multiplies, you will have a colony in notime,,,,cool beans!

Hello there NanoAmyDee.

Hunterd, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It will either grow or not. On 40 watts of light, I doubt that you have any corals to worry about, so just enjoy it while it's still around.

My bet is it's a bleached out mushroom.
