Not sure how common these zoanthids are but apparently you can pick them up by accident in many aquarium stores. :eek:

Stay safe NICO :cool:

For crying out loud. That's the municipality right next door to where I grew up. :facepalm:

I wonder if I have anything dangerous in my aquarium?

zoanthids are pretty damn common, have some in one of my salt water tanks. I paid for them, its technically a type of jelly fish except instead of floating around it attaches itself to a rock and starts a colony. Many species are beautiful. Going and trying to boil a rock with an unwanted type seems like a retarded idea from the get go.

I have a small colony of these in my 150 gallon salt tank.

Along with Dory, a damsel and a Moray eel.
