The entire column is covered in bumps, probably the kind that sting (I should know the name for these but I'm drawing a blank) and the tentacles under actinic light appear bright green with pink/magenta tips. I feel like I've seen them before but can't place it right now...

Very cool! Thanks! I am glad to see they reproduce asexually. Looking forward to a whole colony of them. :-)
