    Can someone help me out here? I am thinking Sebae, but I am new to the anemone world. It's nestled in the rocks pretty good, is this typical? Of course I had to include the picture of the elusive pom pom checking it out. Oh, and it has a red foot, that's what's confusing me since I was told Sebaes didn't have a red base.

    The LFS guy said it was a "red foot anemone" but I couldn't find anything online about it. I did some research and the closest I could find was a sebae. Anyone heard of a red foot?

    I found this picture of a heteractis crispa, it looks very close to mine but more yellow. Maybe that's what it is. I'm hoping we have an anemone expert around to verify what this is exactly.

    Looks a lot like a sebae to me in my limited experience.

    I can't believe how many variations there are within one species.
