What Is This?

It's not aiptasia or mojano. There are several, they live in the substrate in my refugium.

That does not look like aptasia. They are not that "clear".

Huh. The balls on the tips of the tentacles make me think of a Corynactis sp, but I really have no idea. I've definately never seen an aptasia or a majano that looks like that, nor one that burrows in substrate.

A friend has suggested hydroids{there are lots of different types}. Another thought Pseudocornyactis Caribbeorum and sent me pics of hers which look similar, but are in the rocks.
