bearded anemone???
 
i picked this little critter up this weekend and was told it was a bearded anemone but i cant find any info on it online under that name. anyone have any thoughts? he behaves well so far already set in place and seems happy.

"Beaded" anemone is a common name for Heteractis aurora. Looking at the photo, yours could be that, I think. I can't quite tell from the picture on my monitor but do the tentacles have a sort of ringed/striped patterning?

yes it sort of looks like it. a few have a tinge of purple in it but i faintly see rings. thank you.. this is what i get for not listening clearly lol
