    Just noticed this thing. It closes up when I squirt it with water, and is open at night. Sorry for the blurry pic. I was in a rush because I have never seen it this open before.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Almost looks like a palys or zoanthid, but need a macro shot. And it could very well be a aiptasia or majano.
