Pls try search on Phyllangia family or "Oulangia stokesiana" see whether match? Cheers..

Try using chopstick to touch the tentacles, If it retracted fully w/o the sterm then it confirmed aiptasia liao :sick: !

yes gone already cause this sun need more feeding than a normal sun coral to make it open and i'm a real lazy reefer ...

your pic look like Oulangia stokesiana not an aiptasia for sure ...
