Clear but the tips are white. The size is tiny like the size of a pencil eraser.

It looks more like a majano, but it could possibly be a hitchhiker cup coral. I'm not entirely sure :)

It could be majano's, if it looks alittle transparent then it might be feather dusters. Its hard to make it out by the pictures.

Okay, I have this in my tank as well and it is slowly spreading. I looked up pictures of mojano and cup coral online and the photos above do not look like these. It's not a feather duster either. I am concerned that these are not good. Does anybody know what these are and can provide a positive I.D. picture?

Looks like Majano to me...although maybe bleached out.

Also looks Similar Pseudocorynactis a.k.a Orange ball anemone.......... there are a couple different looking ones some that have a pink base with orange tips and other that are under the same classification that have a brown foot with clear tentacles with white tips...... hope this helps

Looked it up online... the brown foot with clear tips is awfully close! It still appears to fall in the category of "pest" anemone.
