    It is in a rock. Its clear and fans out like a feather duster. I dont know if its good or bad and if i should take it out. It looks cool though... lol

    Thanks in advance.

    It looks like an anemone. We will need a much clearer picture to help you with an ID.

    very hard to say from the pic....it might be a club tipped anemone with a clear foot (ive seen em before even tho the foot is usually pinkish).....hmmm...could be a feather duster too...but too blurry to say

    Most definitely a feather duster. I have several of this particular species in my tank. That's about as big as they will get.
