    So I was playing with my new blue led flashlight when all the lights were off and I saw this little bugger with neon green tips. I have no idea what this is but hoped someone on here would know.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Either a ball tip anemone or a hidden cup coral is my best guess.

    I think you might be right, after looking at some pics they look very similar. I don't want to sound stupid but is a ball tip the same as bubble tip?

    They can, but they usually don't. I don't think you have enough nutrients in your tank for the perfect storm.
