hi fishclan. I invested in a purple foot anemone, anyway thats what the LFS sold it as. This is a must for any colourfull tank. Mine basically opened as soon as it hit the water. At the LFS I couldnt it didnt even bare a single tenticle. Anyway my clowns appreciates it almost more than me. Does anyone keep these anemones?
 
Im battling to insert a pic, sorry, go to google/images/purple anemone. the photo of the anemone and the pink anemone fish is exactly how mine looks like. :)
 
LOTS of anemones are purple in color. It could be one of many species. If you don't have a pic, save a pic of a similar on your computer, go to tinypic.com, and paste the link for forums here. It'll show as a picture after you submit!

are you saying that that anemone in the link provided is the one you have? it looks like a Heteractis Magnifica (magnificent anemone or rittiri anemone). If so then it wasnt a good impulse buy (as most turn out not to be). they have a very low survival rate even in the "best" of tanks. they also get ginormous
 
Ginormous and burn anything in the area :shark:

And yes, extremely tough to keep.
