On snake polyps

[Anonymous]

There are a few of them. They are slowly moble.

At night, they open up (and are not photographable).

Here are some photos!

Wow! This looks cool. My guess would be a type of non-photosynthetic anemone give the mobility and the fact that they don't open during the day.

What's weird is that they get on the corals like they're not there.
Cool stuff, I'd keep it if I were you .

Looks to me like some type of Corynactis or Pseudocorynactis.

YEA!

Maybe I'll grab 'em and throw them in my nano so they are easier to feed.

They do look like that, especially before they open. However, mine are very, very, very slowly mobile (like a mushroom basically).

Corynactis and Pseudocorynactis are Corallimorphs, ie. Mushroom Corals.

I thought that they are taxonomically somewhere between anemone and mushrooms (but it's probably just a rumor). Anyway, they seem to move very slowly if at all, and I never saw them on another coral, hence the question.
