Something you don't see everyday (& ID please!)

So for the past several months I have had this baby anemone growing in my tank. I thought I would hang onto it because it has not become a bother, been feeding, not reproducing it and its been stationary. I woke up to this...


The baby Anemone was on a joy ride on my hermit crab.

Now it might be hard to tell from the pics. But as you can see the mouth of the anemone is neon orange and had a purple ring round its mouth. The body has faint pink stripes on it. Now get this, I attempted to see if I could move the little gaffer off the crab's shell, and the moment it was agitated, it shot out these neon pink ribbon like strands.

Any ideas to what this little guy is?

Don't know the exact name, but it's probably one of those hitchhiker anemones and now you have an anemone hermit crab
