Help with ID on Anemone

[kelkoolaid]

I purchased a anemone told it was a "purple long tenicale" it was still in bag, ordered in for me. I get it home and it looks like a shroom or a rock anemone. has antone seen one like this definatly not long tenicale. And it does eat shrimp.

I know my pic's aren't the best but its at back of tank and I only have 1.5 zoom, and it blends with coraline.

Did it come on a rock??? I've never seen an anemone being transported on a rock. To me though it looks like some kind of Ricordea or something less like an anemone.

it was free floating and it found a place ona rock, base was white but looked like the foot of anemone. the tips a small but have a hot pink pinpoint size tip. I really think it's a rock anemone

it is not a rock anemone- im nut sure about a long tent- sometimes it taks them a while to stretch out- but it is not a rock/flower anemone

NO not a rock/flower anemone. If it was recently ordered for you and hasen't been in the tank long then wait with patience as it was most likely shipped with little water. Let him acclimate himself to the tank for a while.
First glance I thought you had a ricodia, second glance it looks somewhat like a rose BTA. STill not sure yet. When he changes and inflates himself better take another pic.
White base you say?

Looks like some type of BTA to me...give it some time to adjust to your system.:thinking:
