    i have seen this before, i can remember, i want to say it is a polyp shape hydroid, but i dont think that is right, let me look around, if now one else finds it first ;)

    this is a Vermitid snails, you will notice them more and more, they are a good thing to have, a good filter feeder

    very well could be that, the larger zoanthids need some feeding, i havent had any of the larger zoanthids, that is what i have read, and what Bryan at the logical reef has told me ;)

    would be a cool hitchhicker ;)
