Well, took a trip to the LFS today and picked up what I was told is a 'Flower Anemone'...
Unfortunately, there's several different species that are called Flower Anemones, so I need a little help getting a positive ID on this critter. I mainly want to know so that I can keep it happy and healthy with proper lighting, food, etc.
From what I could gather in searching, this species is the 'missing link' between true anemones and corallimorphs (thanks TDWyatt), but I just want to make sure that I'm on the right track and didn't misidentify (is that a word?) it.
Anyway, here's the picture (taken with my ultra-luxurious HP Photosmart 612 camera, so of course it's a bit blurry ).
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply Jeff... glad to hear about your situation (in the other thread). Really good days don't come that often... enjoy it while you can.
I guess I should mention that the anemone is only about the size of a silver dollar... the picture makes it look larger than it really is.
For reference, the small purple polka-dotted mushroom behind it is about the size of a nickel.
Thanks for taking a stab at it though, I appreciate it.

I did a bit more research, and every flower anemone I found didn't look anything like the anemone I bought... the more I look at it the more I think you may be right stang...
Not bad for $14 and change...
I wish all LFS employees were that clueless... I could get some real discounts.
