Picked this up on the weekend thinking it was some sort of hairy mushroom. The rock it is on now isn't the rock I bought it on. Never seen a mushroom move around before. It's about 21/2" - 3" in diameter.

Nope, it's one of those mini carpet anemones.

I was going to say, the guy at the store referred to it as a small carpet. I wasn't quite sure what he was talking about. There were two on the same piece of rock, one a little larger than the other. Along with some Zoa's and a small patch of purple clove polyps. He wanted $75. Payed $65.
Are these two going to cause any issues in my tank? I have never kept any type of anemone before.
 
They are very sticky & will eat fish that land on them. They love to eat any meaty foods. I feed mine earthworms. They don't like really bright light but will move to where they are happy. They're going for ~$30 here.

Don't think I over paid then. Got 2, purple cloves, some boring Zoas and a couple pound rock for $65. Thanks for the feeding info.:)
