Ricordea is a mushroom

This afternoon it went for a walk. Saw it moving strangely across the sand bed. Upon closer inspection it had attached to a snail. I could not get a photo at the time. I have an updated shot when it was back on the rocks.
One strange little anemone.

Where have you been little buddy

Picked up another one yesterday, traded so didn't really cost me anything. It is a plain jane but I can see some color in the outer tentacles. Going to blast it with light and see what happens, maybe it'll color up.

OK, but isn't the Ricordia a mushroom?

I like the white coloring...it's different.

Yes but I thought the question you were answering was;

I was trying to show how they are the same at Phylum. class, and subclass level but split off from there. Just trying to help people understand the biology a bit more and answer their question more directly. Geesh!!!!!!

Great answer by the way, but your smileys look a little angry.

New mini ate, good sign. Just hope it grows, it is dwarfed by the others.
