    Is there a photo line up of anenome's to help identifiy these creatures?

    I have one with long white tubes and have a purple dot on the end of each. The other is white-ish pink and almost glows under blue lunar light.

    Same question about coral.

    Thank you!

    If you post pictures, we'll tell you what they are. :)

    Your first 'nem is a Sebae; difficult to keep.

    Posting some photo's is the easiest/quickest way to get an ID. The first nem sounds like it could also be a Condy.

    yep condy, Id say second one looks like a tube anemone.

    look similiar to this, just dif color.

    Watch your condy, those can be fish eaters.

    The one on the bottom right is really striking: it looks like it is lit up from underneath with a LED bulb when I have the lunar blue led's on.

    Agreed...the one on the left looks like a Caribbean Condylactis sp. The orange one is a tube anemone Cerianthus sp. The coral is Star Polyps Briareum sp. but they are obviously closed.
