![]() Here's a pic of what I think is a baby Haddon's Carpet Anemone. It was about 1 inch in diameter when I got it, now its about 1.5 inches after a couple months. Its in a 20 gallon tank, so it will have to move eventually. It eats tiny pieces of scallop every three days, and I have to pre-feed the crabs so that they do not steal from it.

![]() I agree. That's a Ricordia florida mushroom, not an anemone.

![]() Negatory, definitely an anemone though they are quite similar looking if they can't be seen side-by-side. I have a ricordea florida and side-by-side they are quite different: the anemone actively grabs food while the ricordea does not, the nem's tentacles are much bigger, the ricordea hates bright light and the nem loves it. Here is a pic of the nem and the ricordea side by side at the same camera magnification and distance from the camera.

![]() Yes it was a hitchhiker - in one of the LFS's anemone orders. I snagged it for 10 bucks.
