Looks like a really large ball anemone, Psuedocorynactis.

Thank you, We will look into that.
If there are any other thoughts, please throw them in.

You might want to try posting this in the anemones and clownfish forum to see if you get some more answers.
It looks like an anemone to me, but I've never seen one with almost-sweeper-like-tentacles like you've got.

Was trying to find thid article before, it was just posted in another thread. Read through I think your invert is related to possibly Rhodactis, or there's another one that may be it, Amplexidiscus. Still just guesses. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/oct2002/invert.htm

Lobophyllia

I hadnt thought about LPS, cause it didnt appear to have a skeleton. Perhaps we should ask.

Bigair, does it have a skeleton?

It does look alot like the Lobophyllia sp. listed on pg 276 of Borneman's Corals though

Thanks so much for the responses. I am actually helping a buddy of mine. I don't remember if it has a hard skeleton or not, but I will find out and get back to you on this.
Thank you again.

Copied from his response to me.


This guy looks like the coral in the PIC in one of my earlier threads, but yes, it does have a skeleton but never retracts into it. Can't see how it ever could actually. But the base is skeletal and does extend up from its attachment to the LR...you can see it in the side view of one of the PICs...


Thanks

I would say Rendos hit it then, Lobophyllia.
