ID help.
What is this classified as? I bought it for my nano tank because i liked how it looked. I don't remember what the guy called it and i cant find it online. It's body is about 3.5in long, about 1in diameterand squishy. It retracts into itself when the tentacles are disturbed.


Tanks I currently own:
125g freshwater tank w\ 30g sump, 840gph pump, ocean clear canister filter,
20" fire eel, and Dib the Fahaka
55g freshwater tank w\ Magnum 330 filter
Tigger the South American Puffer

Re: ID help.
Anemone ?? or a type of coral that is mistaken for an Anemone?

Re: ID help.
I have had it for a few days now. can you link me where you where reading? I don't know if its a coral, because it doesn't fasten itself to the rock.

Not only that but mine has eaten every single fish in my 40g tank, including a $400, 5" Rhinopias & a 5" Manderin.
