   |  Not so common hitchhiker....
Jan 25th I was dipping some zoa rocks and when I was pulling out the rocks, I noticed some loose polyps on the bottom of the bucket, so I tossed them in a low flow area of a tank. Well 3 days later I was scraping the glass with mag scraper and noticed what I thought was a zoa polyp attached to the scraper. On closer inspection, I noticed it wasnt a zoanthid. After some reasearch and contacting Brenda at WWM, we've narrowed it down to a Quadricolor Anemone. Remember this thing is tiny, as small as a zoanthid polyp, at most 3/8-1/2 fully open now. So yeah, here are the pics...
