Anenome ID

[John&Lynn]

We bought some Blue Xenia and noticed once this was in the tank that there was something else attached to the liverock the coral came on. This thing then detached itself and has been trying to find somewhere to settle. We assume it is an anenome. Any ideas what type?

Would it cause any problems in our tank? We have plenty of live rock, 3 different types of urchin, 2 clowns, 1 Orange Spotted Sleeper Goby, 2 Yellow Tailed Blue Damsels, 1 Peacock Wrasse, 1 Saffron Goby, 1 scooter blenny and hermit crabs and a peppermint shrimp. What does it eat and does it sting?

it will eat small pieces of what other anemones will eat. It's really sticky. no problems.

What do other anemones eat? We have never had one before and only acquired this one by accident (hitchhiked in on some Blue Xenia)!
