I got this live rock and it had a blob hitchhiker. The lady at the shop were I got it said it was some type of coral but she wasn't sure what type. It can flatten down and re-blob to move itself. It likes to be hand fed freeze dried krill. I just want to make sure it is okay to have in my tank. sorry if the pictures suck only have my phones camera.

It doesn't appear to have any tentacles just that little lip flap thingy. Is there ball anemones that do not have tentacles?

It's hard to tell from the pic, but I don't think it's a ball anemone.

I can't tell what it is from the picture, but I can tell you it is not a ball anemone.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

UPDATE on blob

It has now grown tentacles and moved itself between the top and bottom part of the rock.
I fed it last night and by morning it had spit the food back out.

hi

Since it now moves and has tentacles, it is more than likely some sort of anemone

No way is that a glass anemone.

I also think it's an anemone, but I don't know what kind.
