Hi guys, so on a visit to my home country i collected two anemones. Anyway they were attached to a log in the tidal waters. I flew it back with me and wasn't questioned at all as I guess it was in less than 3oz of water. But I've been looking for months trying to ID the exact anemone it is. I've seen similar ones from Chile, but these were collected in Costa Rica. It looks kind if like an anthopleura, but again there don't seem to be any exact lookalikes anywhere. Anyone to ID them? If not, who do i contact to do so?

The second one is aiptasia, a pest anemone that can reproduce and take over the tank. Not sure about the first one. Can you get a few more pictures of it?

Yep. The second one is obvious. The first one looks like it also belongs to the family of aiptasiidae too, which is the same of the first one. I could be wrong though.
