Strawberry Anemone ???

Santa Monica aquarium has a tank full of these. Anyone know if you can get/keep them in an aquarium? Thanks

Hard to say. They look like the temperate water species I see at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. If so, they will require feeding since they lack photosynthetic symbionts. I don't know how well they'd do with the temperature, either. You could ask them what species they are.

Yes, they're Corynactis californica. They live on the North American west coast from British Columbia to northern Mexico. Definitely will not do well in a typical coral reef tank!
