Robb in Austin Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Google image 'feather duster worm' and see if that's it. Does it pop up out of a tube? Suck back in quickly if light hits it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogers Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Does it look like the anemone pictured here? (Link to Wikipedia) Somehow, I doubt that these are really the same as the ones that find their way into home aquariums, but that's the ID that goes around. Called a Strawberry Anemone.

boogers Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 btw, searching for corynactis california or strawberry anemone gives some other pics that look a little different. Some of them are more clear up to the tips, and the oral disks are a little more orangish. There might be some variation in the coloration from that wikipedia pic.
