Hi. I found a hitchhiker on a piece of live rock that I have yet to identify. Hoping somebody here can help me figure it out.
It looks like a very small bubble tip anemone, but it also has a few long tentacles that sometimes poke out from it. It mostly hides under the rock during the day, and then comes out and sits on top of the rock at night. It doesn't move any more than that, but it can move pretty quickly when it wants to. I watched him skitter under the rocks when I turned the lights on.
At first I was pretty sure it is an anemone, but then I noticed those few long tentacles (antrennae?) and it got me thinking that maybe it is some sort of slug.
Any ideas?
