Came out of nowhere!! Just sprouted out of a rock! It's pretty big. Bad? Good? Sorry for the poor quality.

Looks like a rock anemone to me.

Hard to tell under the blue light but looks like a majano anemone to me.... They can be real harmful to a tank... If it is that I suggest getting it out of there asap before you start seen more of them...

 

[Convict2161]

Thanks everyone. Turns out my wife saw it and bought it and didn't tell me. She was playing a prank so when I saw it I was thinking it just grew there

She got it from Reefs2go it's a rock flower anemone. She got me, 1 her 0 me... Well actually I ended up with a coral so maybe 0 her 1 me lol.

Will do... Gonna have to wait until tomorrow. The light is on a ramp up/down timer so right now it's moonlight. I'll get some nice shots tomorrow at noon when the lights are at it's peak.

That looks cool... Does it move around the tank a lot?

Honestly it hasn't moved at all... Yet anyway.

Yup a Duncan sounds right

 

[Gboy66]

It wont move..because i am really sure that it is a duncan

Grant, OP already said it was a rock anemone, IME, they really don't move much, if at all. In the past I've had three or four and they never moved from where I placed them. They are a common Carribean anemone, that have a great variety of colors and patterns, and are about the same price, if not cheaper than your average Condylactis. See them in Florida all the time.

Wow i'd like one if they dont move much! Haha, it looks exactly like a duncan. Very cool

 

[Flreefer]

Some of the variations are really beautiful. IMO, they are a great little Nem, for a smaller tank. They dont get big either. Don't know if a clown would chose them as a host or not, and the clown would prob outgrow it quickly, but if you had 2 or 3 next to each other, it might make an appealing little bed!

 

[Convict2161]

Yes it's def a rock anemone and my clowns hosted my torches which was way cool. I put 2 stems next to each other, different colors and they love it!
