Thanks Bryan, that's actually a rock flower anemone. If you go back one page I've got a close up picture of it.

Well, a little update while I was gone on vacation my neon goby and mandarin both went missing. I'm not sure what happened but, I'm definitely upset the goby had so much personality and my mandarin was the most beautiful fish to me. All my water tests have come out fine so I guess it's one of those things I'll just never know. Everything else looks great, and here are a few pics I took today.

Thanks guys! That's my rock flower anemone. I really wasn't crazy about it when I started my tank but, I get so many compliments on it now!

It's really unique -- I've never seen anything like it.

Thanks Biff, it's definitely grown on me. And they're extremely hardy for beginners, I got it as a hitchhiker from TBS almost a year ago and it made it through my cycle and several disasters I've had with the tank. I've been looking for more of them and some have some CRAZY colors but the colorful ones are pretty expensive $100+

Here's one I've looked at adding lately ...
Coral Morphologic - Your source for live corals including zoanthids, discosoma, and ricordea.

I have also been considering adding a BTA or a few mini-maxis instead but I really don't know which way I want to go

 

[Bifferwine]

Oh man, that's gorgeous!

 

[BryanS]
