Okay. Thanks. I am pretty sure they are Hidden Cup Coral. Does anyone know their care requirements. I have about 10 of them or so.

ok, the one everyone keeps calling an aptasia isnt, if it is clear and has little balls on the end of the tenticles. I cant remember the name, but its a caribian somthing. The second looks like orange sponge. the fourth looks like a hidden cup coral.

TeresaQ what you are thinking of is Pseudocorynactis sp.

 

[teresaq]

either that or Corynactis sp.
I have a few and I think it was bang that told me what they were, it was just a long time ago. I cant find my old post.

In my reading Corynactis sp. are a colder water corallimorph and the Pseudocorynactis sp. are more the warmer water versions.
