Bartholomea annulata, an Atlantic anemone. Won't host clownfish but will host some types of shrimps, including some of the fairly available Periclimenes sp. and Alpheus sp. Some consider it to be a pest, as it may sting and eat fish, etc. There is not a lot of information out there other than from the online retailers (I checked some academic journal databases).

I would be careful with it. Maybe ask James at AI what he knows about it.

That would imply stinging a live healthy fish to death and then eating it.

I have had a curlycue in my tank for over a year. It has yet to eat anything live, except for a xenia frag that fell in front of it. I am not sure it ate it or if it just stung it. In any case, my children love feeding the anemone chunks of scallop and other fish. It inflates to triple it's size the day after it eats as if it's happy and bloated! It is a beautiful addition to the tank.

I'd be willing to bet the seahorse would be a goner and you better watch out because once Bev finds out you're considering putting that anemone with a horse you'll be a goner as well. Honestly, I wouldn't do it. You already know seahorses should be kept in a species tank. Don't tempt fate.
