These are some sort of rock anemone from the eastern pacific. Haven’t seen them in the hobby or online. The are kind of like a mini maxi but one has developed some bubbles and at night they put out feeder tentacles. Anyone know?

Btw one shot is top down and the other is through the glass with the tentacles out. Like I said they look like a carpet anemone until they display the tentacles

The largest I’ve seen is about 4” in diameter. The larger one in this pic is about 2.5” in diameter. They have a foot and spots under the oral disc. They aren’t a coralimorph they are definitely an anemone. They can consume large chunks of fish, shrimp or octopus in about 30 sec. they are very sticky and seem to thrive best in moderate to low light.

I have found them in a variety of colors pink, orange, red, neon green.
