    I hope these pictures post...
    The green thing just showed up very small months ago in some coral or rock I bought. Does anyone know what it is? I have feed it bits of shrimp and fish and it takes it and eats so i assume it is some kind of anemone.

    The actual anemone I bought last week, the LFS said it was a coloured carpet, but I can't find any pictures that look like it. It has a very pink body and the little tips are white. Does anyone know if the LFS was right?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Thanks, it does look like some of the pictures. I will look it up more and do some more research.

    Thank you, in that thread was picture that looked just like mine. So I agree it is a beaded/warty anemone. Either way it looks really cool in the tank and since it was a hitchhiker it is even better!!

    So any ideas on the other anemone anyone? What it might be?

    The second one looks similar to a Long Tentacle Anemone.

    I am not sure, there are definetly little white ends on the tentacles that don't look like the pictures.

    First looks like a rock/flower anemone. The second is hard to tell. Maybe a deflated LTA.

    That's what I thought, it resembles it more than any other I have looked at.
