ID the anemones

[gtstylez87]

I saw these anemone when I was snorkeling and I wanted to know what they were called. also I took one and it doing really good in my tank. I was snorkeling on the east coast of florida about 10 miles south of Ft. Lauderdale beach. they range in size from the size of a nickel to a quarter.

they look a bit like Epicystis crucifer to me. That species is found in southern Florida. Although, they grow to be 7 inches or so in diameter eventually.

Perhaps it's an off-brand species of Aiptasia.

Like Aiptasia Mutabilis:

or Aiptasia Diaphana:

Of course these are both European natives but you get the idea. Not all glass anemones are the same.
