Looks like a rock/flower anemone to me.

it looks like a anemone to me. I dare say mojo.
I know that mojos can look cool somtimes but I dont know much about them.

Rock flower anemone. Pretty easy as anemones go, doesn't move much. Doesn't like too much light, but not dark, appreciate occasional feding of cyclopeeze.

that was quick, thanks guys.
after a check on google images it certainly does look like a rock/flower nem. there seems to be a few different colours but all look very similar.

it does grab any flake that passes over its tentacles, so ill give it some mysis next time i feed some.
thanks again

Agreed....E.crucifer.

Careful they carry a potent sting. Fish could be at risk, they have a voracious appetite.

anemone to me, some people keep them because they might look cool ... but be very cautious.................
