Cool unknown creature
Ok, Here's the story I was curing my live rock and found this little creature In the bottom or my can. It is smaller than a pencil eraser and appears to be a small anenome. Any ideas? http://www.3reef.com/forums/attachme...1&d=1142127819

I agree with Jason. Sea Cucumbers don't move very much, at least the adult ones I've seen don't move much. And, many species have tentacles at the "head" end.

Well let me ask this, Its been in with my rock curing for about 4 days is it safe to add to my tank or should I just pitch it since I'm not sure what it is? And If I were to keep it what would I feed?
