Nicaraguan Flower Anemone?

[cheeto]

This was sold to me as a Nicaraguan flower anemone. I got it 3 weeks ago and it has traveled around the entire tank twice so far and appears to be going for a third round trip. This has not made any of the other corals in the tank very happy since it likes to sit in one spot for a few hours and really **** it off before moving on. I was wondering if this is really a rock/flower anemone, my other 3 rock/flowers all stayed put within 10 minutes of being introduced to the tank. I'm started to think it's some type of traveling gypsy anemone trying to sell it's wares around the tank.

Thanks for any help.

How about a beadlet anemone, Actinia Equina.

No blue dots under it's tentacles.

That same species showed up online, about a month ago, in a different thread. I don't believe a conclusive ID was found. I suspect it's a cooler water anemone, which may explain why it's roaming the tank.

This may be it. http://www.actiniaria.com/phymactis_papillosa.php If so, it is a cooler water anemone.

Are all "Phymactis" cold water species ? It does look like the closed up picture of the "African Rock Anemone"

Looks just like the local nems here,which are warty nems. They are exact,but tanish colors. They will eat anything. I got a LTA that was the same size and it roamed around the tank one night and never saw it again. Several days later my warty was puking it out.
