hi there bro,

the coral isnt really clear in the photo, but id say it looks like either a strawberry anemone or a balanophyllia species. try using a syringe with some tubing and squirting some mysid shrimp onto its tentacles and see if it consumes it? itd be cool if you could take a clearer pic too ya. its so interesting to see all these hitchhikers.

cheers,

ian
