    I found this Anemone on a shell while snorkling in the gulf of mexico it appears to me to be a Calliactis tricolor...or Hermit Anemone...i put the shell in my reef, its a nifty little anemone, it ate a few brine shrimp, and when it closes it sticks out thin orange tentacle type things...it doesnt have a hermit in its shell :) so I think its "keepable"...do you guys concur that it is indeed a Calliactis tricolor?

    Sweet, Now I have so local anemone living in my tank :) I also put about 10 serpent stars that I caught in the reef to, to add to the clean up crew, they are doing great as well :)
