Found something cool looking today...

It was small, not much bigger than my thumb nail. Looks like some kind of anemone to me but I'm not sure what kind. Any ideas?

Good luck man, i cant stand anemones these things love to spread and tick me off. I smash mine and super glue their crevice shut and hope they dont spawn more demons

Oh, it's not in my tank. I know everything that's in there. This was in a tide pool at the beach. I guess I should have said that in the OP.

What beach? That may help with ID’ing the local inhabitants

It was just south of Washington Oaks State Park near Marineland. I'm guessing since you're from Orlando you know the general area.

Haha, I don't mind!

OP, your nem there is most likely the Warty Sea Anemone, Bunodosoma cavernatum - for pics to compare with:

Warty Sea Anemone - Bunodosoma granulifera - Caribbean

That looks like a winner to me.

I wonder if they would be reef safe.

I don't know - it would be interesting (albeit risky) to find out though.

Hmmm, maybe I'll set up a little tank just to try and find out. I've got several tanks sitting around not being used.
