Is it maybe the fish eating anemone (Urticina piscivora)

No need to apologize. I value your input. It entirely possible. However; from the Google pics I've compared it to....it does seem like a variant of a "Ball" Anemone - Corynactis sp.

I was used to seeing the smaller Caribbean Ball Anemones and have not encountered one this size before.

I've only seen them in pictures but it does look like a Corynactis to me (or maybe a Pseudocorynactis?). Very awesome whatever it is.

It threw me off as well. You're not the only one. It does appear to be Corynactis sp. as opposed to Pseudocorynactis.

I'm used to Pseudocorynactis from the Caribbean and they are generally smaller. This particular shipment was from Indonesia. Corynactis sp. are found in those waters.

As for its awesomeness....I'd have to agree. Thank-you.

Saw this while diving if only I knew the name of it.

Condylactis gigantea would be my blanket guess based solely on two factors: 1) I think that's what they look like, and 2) they live in the Caribbean.

It looks more like a BTA then that though. I just don't know what the colour would be called?

[Taipan]

Perform an image engine search for "Condylactis, Condylactis Gigantae, or Purple Tip Condylactis". That's my best guess. Where were you diving? That may narrow down the search as well.

P.S. - Delphinus - Great Minds think alike

What did they call it for colour?
