IC 418 belongs to the group of about a dozen planetary nebulae with central stars that show irregular spectroscopic and photometric variations. Recent theoretical results provide arguments that this group may constitute a new class of pulsators. We present new photometric observations of the nucleus of IC 418 showing variations with a timescale of about 1/4 day. We discuss two possible explanations of the observed phenomena: pulsational instability and an unstable wind.
