I bought some coral yesterday and I noticed this guy. It looks like a zoa, tentacles are along the outside, but it's alone like a majano would be found. It closes up like a zoa as well rather than going into the rock work like glass anemones do. I'm thinking that if it was a majano then the persons tank it came out of would have noticed it in other areas. Any ideas?

Here's the coral it's on (I forget what kind they said it was too, lol). Oddly it also has some feather dusters that have hair instead of feathers. The hair rainbows in the light.

It also came with a few hitchhikers. One was a Paguritta gracilipes that seems to be at home;

Another was a spider that looks exactly like this;

Weird thing was I was trying to get him and it fell to the sandbed right beside the strawberry that was under the sandbed. The strawberry ate it so I too a pic;

I know this is a weird story about the coral and it's hitchhikers but I thought I'd share. My new addition hasn't been all bad, the 'green' (that now looks teal, going on blue) arco came with an acro crab that my wife thinks is cute;

Anyways, if anyone has an ID for me I'd really appreciate it.
