I work at a pet shop and a customer broke down their 250 and have us everything. We don't generally handle anemones because we don't have a tank well suited to them and they don't fare well because of it.

I like anemones on the other hand, so my cowormer who handles the saltwater portion unloaded a rose bubble tip and another anemone that had a host of two clowns.

I'm sure it's just a long tip or condy but it's a little different than the ones I've had before and Google has scared me a little with images of a similar looking anemone, a magnifica (?). It has a pink base, hues of blue and green in the dominantly white tentacles.

So, if just like a second opinion and make sure I've ID'ed it correctly.

Thanks in advanced!

First photo is in my tank, second is in a stock tank at work because it shows the base and the clowns hosting in it.

I'd most likely say it's a sabae anemone I have one very similar to yours but it seems like yours has longer tentacles. That can vary though based on lighting and current.
