If I'm right and FatTony and Rotties are wrong, I'm going to give my self a very self-indulgent pat on the back.

Are the white animals with tentacles a type of coral or a nem? They look beautiful.

The white ones are anemone's. I have had them for about a month. I haven't had much luck keeping them alive over a year. I have read that this type of anemone don't last in a tank past 6 months to a year, unless they turn to a brown color.
