anemone ID?

[mkart]

Anyone know if this is a rock anemone or a mini carpet? It has a red base but is solid yellow in color. Only about 1.5" in diameter. i am looking for mini carpets but may have guessed wrong on this one. Had a hard time focusing the camera so I hope the pic is good enough.

thanks

Wow this pic looks even worse on the iPad. I'll try to get a better one taken tomorrow.

10 to 1 it's a beaded anemone, or Heteractis Aurora. Where did you get it?

Most rock anemones won't have a red base. And it doesn't look like a carpet but the pic is pretty blurry. Also, FWIW, yellow is RARELY a good thing on any anemone, especially if you can see through the anemone in places. On the upside, I know of a few stores that have mini carpets, and I am wanting an H. Aurora, so get a better pic, and maybe we can make a deal after we get an ID.

Id Est.

Also sometimes called a Carnation Anemone

I think your right, beaded anenome. Oh well, I'll trade him in on another after I get him healthy. Looks good yellow though. Ate Mysis this evening.
