looks like one to me .
lol- but what is it? she says the green parts are bumpy... eluding to it possibly being a ricordea? but it does not represent a ricordea other than that.
I even toyed with the possibility that it is a s.tapetum or similar?
I should take it off her hands and save her the trouble..... LOL

ya thats the s.tapetum (however its spelled) the mini carpet anemone...
It seems similar but the mini carpet has different tentacles around the border. I was thinking maybe the anemone because of the coloring and the way the foot looks.

20- something SHIPPED (got it from someone who lives in florida though- so shipping was way cheap)
they arent really expensive, usually like 15-20 bucks.
just remember that they arent so big. mine is like 1". There are larger varieties but right now the mini carpets are so hot that they are hard to get your hands on.
I harrassed people until I finally got one! lol
They are supposed to split very quickly so Im feeding mine mysis etc already to help promote propogation. They can also easily be split into two.
As soon as mine starts splitting and I have more than one, Ill sell them off for like 20bucks (what I paid for this one)
