    We found this under our Orange Polyps this morning. It almost looks as if it could be a Star but looks to have 7+ legs...Not sure....::)

    I believe that it is a coral polyp from the Caribbean! Either Colangia immersa or Phyllangia americana! They contain small coralites and often grow spread out across live rock!

    Looks like a glass anemone, but hard to tell from the pic.

    It looks like an upside down glass anemone. You can see through the tentacles.
