Interesting hitchhiker

[dan2x38]

Picked up a torch coral some time ago. Awhile back noticed something on the base. It would show then retract. After awhile I didn't see it any more though it might have been a bristle worm. I'd wanted a picture to post it but never could get one. Today was doing something and noticed the little flash at the base again. Below are the pictures the first shows a small bore hole in the torch skeleton where it appears from. The second one shows what seems to be a little anemone. I only found that out after checking out a series of pics I took. Please forgive the poor quality had to use a flash up close to get these.

I have lots of those, it looks like a featherduster of sorts. maybe a christmas tree worm? Hard to tell in the pic. I have a rock that is covered by some sort of encrusting monte that has 5-6 of them in it. looks very cool.

i also had mojano anemone's. a syringe of vinegar took care of them.
