I just thought I'd share a couple pics of my favorite anemone. Urticina columbiana or Giant anemone. And it lives up to its name!
My new nem:)

Yep it's a coldwater nem
they reach 48" in diameter are considered the largest in the world. Well some say the plumous anemones are the largest but anyway they are massive. And hungry, they eat half to a whole prawn every day if you want to. They are the one anemone that is in the tank that will battle. They are super sticky but have delicate tentacles. They like sand but if in rocks they like to wedge into a spot. They move alot for being coldwater. Most coldwater nems don't move much. The color is dark red on the oral disk with white lines in a cool pattern. I'll try to post a pic of the oral disc soon. It's not open right now. And thanks for the compliments. I love coldwater reefs. There are 70+ nems in that tank. Which is something this group can appreciate

Very cool. They let you touch/pet coldwater anemones at the Aquarium of the pacific in Long Beach, CA. Pretty neat stuff
