    He came on a peice of LR.

    I'm pretty sure he's an anemone, because he looks like
    one, he moves around, and he's sticky.

    But, he is closed all day and open all night.

    Can anyone ID him?

    thanks

    Ah, someone just posted a pic and thread of an anemone
    that looks just like mine, and acts just like it
    (doesnt like bright light, and has a nasty sting)

    His pictures are better than mine

    <see link>

    Now the question remains, is he good or bad?
