Any ideas on what this is? Is it a tiny baby aiptasia? It doesn't look exactly like the photos I've seen of asiptasia -it has a longer neck or stem and shorter arms, but it is super tiny. Thanks for any help! It is in a very hard to photograph location on the back of some rock, so that was the best we could do on photos.

looks like some kind of zoa to me.

It does have a neck similar to my zoas, but the center of its face is an opening leading down into the neck instead of being a solid face almost like a flower like my zoas have. Hope that makes sense...

looks like a zoa or paly that just hasn't received enough light...

My guess is a green button polyp. Not aptasia.

Now I feel bad - I've been trying to kill it since it appeared out of nowhere. :(
