    Welcome to 3reef!

    Looks suspiciously like an aptasia to me!

    Can you get a more close up?

    It could possibly be a Feather Duster. +1 A close-up would help a lot.

    Here's the best I have. It's 'pulled in" right now. It is very tiny, only a little larger than an eraser head. Thanks for all your responses.

    micro/mini feather duster, filter feeds off particles in the water column. beneficial however some people don't like a whole lot, as they can grow just about everywhere and their tubes are unsightly.
