is it a H-e-double-hockeysticks-fire anemone?

Thats exactly what I first thought....Hell fire anemone...

I knew it was pretty....
Generally i would assume h311's fire anemone's to be red....

 

[maxxII]

Name has nothing to do with color of the nem, refers to the potency of the sting. Sposed to hurt like hell fire when you get stung...
can take on appearance of stony or soft coral, or even algae...

my lfs has some fire anemones. the ones they have have longer tetacles than that one. I think they are kind of ugly. that one above is pretty.

Yes, it does appear to be a rather shriveled Actinodendron spp.
