The first one I bought at a store. They said it was a tube coral. I cannot find any info on it to see if it has specific needs. If anyone can tell me what it is and how to care for it I would appriciate it . Herei s the pic:
I will post anotehr message for the other ID.

Looks kinda like a Long-tentacled Plate Coral.
If so, they rarely last long term. Feed it meaty bits of seafood. Careful that it doesn't poke anything sharp as it crawls across the bottom.

They guy said that it was a coral not an anemone. I did not want a anemone because I only have 3 watts of light per gallon. He said that this coral would be fine in that lighting.

It is in fact a plate coral, beautifull corals i feed mine every other day its a pig

 

[bbrock]

what do you feed it and how?

 

[greatfullreefer]

Anything meaty i use Krill his personal favorate. Just drop a piece in the middle and the tenticals will guide to the mouth.

That is too cool. I fed it and it pulled it in. Do you have any info on how much light it needs? I have three watts per gallon. Is that enough?

 

[greatfullreefer]

Calls for med light i have 6 watts per gallon and it does just fine on the substrate. Keep an eye on him and dont worry if it balloons up and gets 3 times the size as mine does it a few times at night.
Also it might move around just keep it out of high flow areas
