    +1 with paintball. The two middle pics definitely look like torch; albeit not a very happy torch. I am not completely sure as to pics 1 and 4 though

    the outside tenticles look too long to be ricordia. I thought it looked like an anemone, maybe some type of elegance coral?

    I am going with ricordia. Those second pics are clearer on that one. For a sec I thought it looked like a malnourished rbta.

    Seems to have tenticles to long to be a ricordia, when you touch it is does it feel sticky?
