    Need ID

    Saw this guy today in my tank. Have not added any coral, rock, or fish in months. It has a stem and tentacles. The tentacles spread out about the size of a dime. It is the only one in my tank. I hope it's not aptaisia. Can anybody tell me what it is and how to get rid of it if harmful?

    New here and to saltwater

    Hello everybody, I am planning to start a saltwater reef tank. Initially only with live rock and then slowly adding to it, not sure if that makes much of difference. Thinking of a 55 gal tank as I dont have a lot of space could consider 75 gal also. Will be posting soon in the WTB thread.
