Anemone i.d. please

Update
Doing very well. Voracious hunter! Piling shells fast. Eats chunks of silverside.
Casualty list
3+ astraa
3+nerite
2 tonga nassarius
1 mexican turbo
2 trochus
1 tiger sand conch
1 cerith snail

And more I'm sure. I don' get how he gets them. But I came home the other day and he was sucking the flesh out of a mexican. Expensive!

Maybe that might give some insight on its sp

It's has the same predatory factor of an octopus anemone then. Does it stay put? It's certainly an interesting critter.

 

[Wiz]

Yes. It has not moved at all. Buries itself every day. Out every night.

that's an interesting purchase. Keep us posted on it's ID .... predator anemone

 

[Wiz]

Will do

Well he attempted to kill my last conch but was unsuccessful. At the bidding at the video you can see him pull the Conch toward the rock just a little. After a second his tentacle let's go. But if he had more than one tentacle on there I'm pretty sure my conch would be toast. Someone showed me a video of an octopus anemone reeling in a giant sea hare like it was a toy. I'm thinking banishment to the refugium soon

So my nem wound up getting banished to the refugium last night. It was on a tear killing every snail that came Within 5 in of him. I put him in the center PVC to try and segregate him from the snails. This is him this morning. I hope he stays there looks cool like a torch coral. LOL

At least you can still enjoy it in the fuge. I had to move a cataphyllia which was about the size of an American football and there was quite a grave yard under it. Comes to a point when you lose more than it cost you.

I had to look up catalaphyllia. Lol my Elegance is about the size of a football as well but he does not kill anything. Or at least not that I'm aware of . And his sting is nothing compared to this thing .QUOTE="mort, post: 4255390, member: 51774"]At least you can still enjoy it in the fuge.

Nice cat not sure why predictive text shortened catalaphyllia in my post. The one I looked after was in a lfs display and one day it looked annoyed, the next day it spat out an 4" anthias that had squeezed out the top and been put back a couple of days earlier. It likely died and just drifted into it but I'm surprised such a large thing could be at least attempted food.
