ID this Anemone

[navychief]

I've been beat senseless on another forum about buying a anemone from Petco in order to save it. Can someone ID this for me so I can read more about it and care for it properly? If a better pic is needed, I will try and get one.

Wow, that is one bleached anemone. Does the foot have any color? Looks like a condy, but they usually have a dark red foot.

I couldn't tell. I "rescued" it from Petco. The tips of the tentacles have a slight pink color.

Yea. I think it's a condylactis

I would go with condy too. I see them at our local Petco all the time. The Petco I seen them in was selling them for 28.00 dollars. I could not believe that. Most lfs sell then for around 10.00. Be carefull if you have coral in your tank they move around alot.

Yea. That's what I've read. It only cost me a bit over 6 bucks so it's no biggie if it doesn't survive from the stress of Petco to my tank. It seems to be doing a lot better.

Right now I only have live rock, two clowns, some zoa and a leather toadstool in my tank. I'm not getting anything else for awhile since I'm eventually going to move into a house instead of renting.

Yeah, it looks like Condylactis passiflora. As you've most likely read, they like fairly bright light and good water conditions, but are generally hardy.
