    Ya I would hold off for a bit and see what happens. If you notice extreme spreading then take action but for now you may just have a gem there.


    Were did you get the LR

    It looks like a frogspawn. Is it green with pink tip?

    You know they could also be small hitchhiker anemones. Keep on eye on them to see if they move around. If they have a foot, you can bet ithey're anemones.

    They look like anemone's to me but not seeing it up close and personal so to speak, it is hard to tell at that size. It would be nice if it were a LPS!!!

    I dont think its an anemone because i can see a small skelleton underneath it, plus it hasn't moved from its spot since i noticed it a month ago.

    It kind of has the same pattern, but that one has more tentacles and is a different color. Plus there is no color where the mouth is.
