I was cleaning the glass on my tank today, and low and behold i see these tentacles floating in the water coming out of one of my pieces of live rock. I have never seen these tentacles before... by the time I could get my camera and get the rock turned a bit to get a better shot of it, it had retracted most of its tentacles.. but I did manage this one shot... I'm wondering if its aptasia, but I've never seen one THIS big... This tentacle was at least 2 inches long and the body of this thing is deep down in a hole in the rock. This is a 75G FOWLR setup.

To me it looks kind of like a curly cue anemone, but I could be wrong.

My first impression was it was from an anemone also. Either cue or aiptasia.
