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.

Anemone ?? or a type of coral that is mistaken for an Anemone?
oddly I was reading up on those last night. Sometimes I feel like I am being stalked here online;)

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.

You should read up on it. One important thing to know is they are non-photosynthetic meaning you have to regularly feed it.
