Can anyone tell me what this anemone is? At least I THINK it is an anemone! I had one as a hitchhiker in my tank 12 months ago and now I have 6. Are they reef safe ( they seem to be) Anyone have them, or a name for them?

By the way, it is the size of a quarter (10p in the UK), with soft "fronds" that wave in the curent. Quite pretty, and seems to only cling to the rock. They move, but slowly,a nd I've not seen them eat anything but I'm sure they filter from the water with those fronds!

HELP. It's a mystery!

Actinodendron, they get to be about 12 inches, moderate lighting, need to be fed, reported to kill fish, wear gloves and use extreme care, stings are notoriously painful.

Hi,

it's Thalassianthus aster, a small harmless anemone!
Though it multiplies fast, it doesn't seem to bother other corals...
