Anemone or Coral

[SaltySteve]

Picked this little frag up from my LFS. Seems to be doing really well but, I have no idea what he is or how to care for it
Anyone recognize it?
Thanx

I wish, the Devils Hand is my favourite
I actually just put my name on one !

The stalk looks like an anemones' but the "top" looks like a soft coral....Does the coral's stalk retract much if it is disturbed? (Hopefully someone else will be able to identify it exactly..)

looks like spagetti coral to me

It does not retract at all when I bother it. It actually grabbed hold of the plastic pippet 8O I had to pull a bit and then wait for it to release.
Don't think its the spaghetti coral, nice though, I like it.
I can take a pic of the big one that my fish store has. May help!
Thanx

Agreed, looks much like Actinodendron plumosum, a branching sea anemone.

Cheers

I have seen the same 5 times larger in size than my frag. Although your link to the branching Anemone is close looking the larger of the specimens looks completely different!
I'll take a pic of the big one at the LFS today!
