they had to be placed in the sand. Their foot of you can call it that is kind of soft same like a feather duster?
Some sort of anemone maybe?

Tube anemone

Yep they are. Also just so you know they are notorious for eating small fish in tanks. They need to be fed since they are not photosynthetic. Beautiful, but not the best for home tanks.

They are beautiful.
Some people report they kill fish, but with three in my mixed up reef I've never had a problem, even with tiny gobies and blennies

I didn't have luck with mine. Did great for a few months then died.

I have two in my tank. I don't think a healthy fish could get caught by one. I feed live fresh water minnows every now and then and even when they can hardly swim and are sideways or upside down as soon at the tube starts to try and bring it to its mouth it can get out of its grasp.
Also they will move to where they like. And like a bit more sand. I feed mine a piece of silver side about half the size of its tube every 4-5 days, and they get some fall off when I feed the fish too. I don't know if thats enough or not, but I have had the one for 5 months now and the other only about a month.
