Saw one at an LFS today, freaking unreal.
In general though, I would venture a guess that they are better left in the ocean. The rule of thumb I use is that if they are uncommon in people's tanks, there is a reason why.

One of my LFS's has one. It is in a reef tank and is ok there. the owner said he got stung by it once and said he learned why it was called "Hell's Fire".

Would one of you try to find the real name for these from your LFS? I would like to check them out and the internet has no pics and no info at all.

Actinodendron anemone.

The one I saw looked like OranguTang's first pic. It looked more like a red colony of some encrusting/short branch soft coral than an anemone. I was talking to the owner and he said it looks completely different at night, it has a separate feeding polyp that comes out. Showed me a picture and it looked like an anemone coming out of that red pic above.
OranguTang, is that a specimen you own?
