Offspring?

I had a number of these last winter.
They look like small anemones to me and perhaps the outcome of spawnings in my tank. (They where less than an inch).
It does not hurt to ask if you can ID them.

Pseudocorynactis, aka orange ball anemones. They are nonphotosynthetic corallimorphs.

Hi,

Greenbean is correct, ([thanks]). These are common hitchhikers on Caribbean rock or from tanks where such rock has been kept. They reproduce asexually very well in aquaria.
