I found an anemone of some sort on one of the rocks as I moved them around.

While not the greatest pic, I don't think the anemone you found is an anemone. To me, it looks much more like a tiny piece of clove polyps, Xenia, or Anthelia. Not sure what kind of lighting you have since you're not intending to make it a reef tank, but if you put those up closer to the light, they may survive and grow for you.

I would advise getting rid of the glass thermometer. Depeding on what you ultimately stock it with, there could be plenty of critters that have the potential to break it.

The tank is looking pretty good! What else do you plan to put in it?
 
I really don't know yet what I plan on adding, as of now I have a.. Current usa something its 36watts 10k and Actinic bulbs.
 
I like the new pieces of LR you added. Look good. Good luck
 
This is really cool! Love the rocks they look great. Keep us updated on pics as you finish setting it up.
