Nem ID?

Any thoughts? Supposedly from South America, Pacific Ocean.

The entire column is covered in bumps, probably the kind that sting (I should know the name for these but I'm drawing a blank) and the tentacles under actinic light appear bright green with pink/magenta tips. I feel like I've seen them before but can't place it right now...

Very cool! Thanks! I am glad to see they reproduce asexually. Looking forward to a whole colony of them.
