    It looks like on the me, it must originate in more temperate waters or the temperature isn't as cold as you think. Looks like a ball or strawberry? anemone. Not much up on nems.

    haha. Try 12 hours 20 minutes. :laughings


    Anyway. I've got several anemones from the Gulf. I've had them for years and they've survived through cycles, dormant tanks, a week in a bucket, etc.

    Some species are especially hardy - so it being in a bucket, IMO, doesn't make it unlikely to be a nem. I'm not sure what kind it is but if I had to guess I'd say a baby majano.
