The anemone was all white until it moved in to the light, now it's turning white with a pink centre (around the mouth). The balls look like they're darkening too. I fed it some raw scallop last night, the thing can eat, wow.
Here's a pic of the other thing, sorry it's quite compressed, but you get the idea. it started as a single polyp that I thought was an anemone, I nearly nuked it (I thought it was a majano), but when I took the rock out of the water and it retracted, I could see that it had a calcified skeleton. That was about 7 months ago, and since then, the original single polyp has gotten way bigger, and that cluster of tentacles is about 12 different polyps. they're maybe 1cm tall, and the whole cluster is only about 4 cm across. At night it sends out ridiculously long sweeper tentacles that appear to be quite noxious, I just rescued another hitchhiker from the same rock from it last night. It appears to be an encrusting type, I don't think it will grow out off the rock. (sorry, i had to delete the first image to upload this one)
