I got a free anemone with my new zoas! can someone ID please

[Jason]

So I was at the LFS when the owner got back from his wholesaler with a couple of new pieces. I saw through the bags that one of them was a sweet rock completely covered in neon green and orange zoas So I told him not to even take it out of the bag and I'd just take it home. He said okay and I took them home.

Dunked the bag like I do everything and let the Zoas get acclimated. When I pulled them out and put them in my aquariumI noticed there was something else In the bag......... A BABY ANEMONE!!!! SWEET!!!!!

I have a tank set up for my wife so she can have a"nemo" (well she has 2 baby percs in QT almost ready to go in) . So, I put it in her aquarium.

It's about 3/4" tall and 1/3" wide.......... Any one got an Idea of what Kind he might be?

Looks like a Flower (rock) anemone. (Epicystis crucifer) They are called a few different things. They don't need any special care. I have 3 of them, that came in on LR. Some people consider them a pest, but I dont!

I GOT ANOTHER ONE ON A NEW ROCK OF ZOAS!!!!!!!!! ONLY THIS TIME IT"S A BABY ROSE......... I asked the guy at the fish store what it was and he said he didn't even realize it was stuck to the rock. I got the little guy at no extra charge.

Sweet! I'm going to keep this little guy in my tank hopefuly he's healthy and will live a long time so I can watch him grow!
