I am gonna guess Majano.

 

[teresaq]

I'm going to guess some sort of rock anemone. They sell them on this site, though the one here looks differant-more tenticles.

It is very pretty.

 

[spanko]

Could be a good call T. Here is a picture of one of the rock anemones.

i dont think its a rock anemone cause it only has like 5 tenticals.
let me try and get a better pic.

The little flower-like clusters at the bottom of the first pic make me think it might be a coral of some type. It might be worth leaving for a bit to see what it does. Does it move around or is it stationary?

Orange Ball Anemone, juvenille, FYI yours has more than 5 tenticals. Google it...

 

[mr.clownfish]

[mr.clownfish]

it moves around and when i touch it, it sucks its tenticals into its body. but hangs around on the bottom of my live rock. that where i found him. very little light there.

oh and i added some reef vitamins for the mushrooms i have and i think it died. cause it shrunk a little and it looks like its outter sink is peeling. ill leave it in there till tomorrow and see what happens

As my post states above.."FYI yours has more than 5 tenticals"

 

[mr.clownfish]

oh ya all around it!

but it has like 6 big ones
and it did not die. it moved to the other side of the rock.
so should i keep him in there or should i take it out?
