Help ID, Baby anemone?

[ratienza80]

Hi everyone, recently, I lost my H. magnifica and was able to take him out of the tank before it did a number on it.

Anyway, today, I noticed this little guy on the rock. I don't know what it is so I'm hoping someone can ID it for me. He's very tiny, about one centimeter in diameter. I have no clue what it is so I appreciate any comments. It looks like a baby anemone, but I may be wrong.

I uploaded the attachments, I hope the pics are large enough to see. I don't know how to directly load the pics onto the post.

Thanks!!

Ron

Help ID, Baby anemone?

It's very cute but also very hard to see... At first glance I thought it looked more like a polyp than an anemone .
But you may want to google corynactis Californica or corynactis viridis (!??)

I'm hoping others will add on more suggestions....

Thanks for the input!! I looked at the corynactis California and it looks similar except it isn't red. Don't know if that makes a difference though.

Pseudocorynactis probably, aka ball anemone. Not invasive, but requires target feeding. White or orange tips. Very cool.

Cool , I thought it weird that it was hanging out by itself!

Yeah, looks like a pseudocorynactis. Thanks for the help guys? How large do it they get?

The biggest I have seen was about the size of a nickel.

I recall reading that there are multiple species. A Caribbean one that gets quite large and a pacific variety that stay small. I have had both. Former can get to be golf ball sized; latter size of a nickel as previously stated. Yours looks to be the latter probably.
