this showed up on a piece of live rock I picked up.

I thought maybe it is a rose bubble...
but the area around the mouth is to big.

BTW the pic was taken with a Nikon D3200 with nothing special.  Lens against the glass.

It was a surprise, it is gorgeous.
I assume care is the same as other anemones, I'll need to do some more reading to be sure on that.

When open it is about the size of a 50 cent piece.

That is definitely what it is.

Once again the club has properly identified a tank specimen.

thank you

I'm not so sure about that. It could turn out to be a RBTA that was stressed by poor water conditions, being picked on/messed with by another animal(even clownfish), or hidden out of sight for a while to where it didn't get sufficient flow or light.

Still, it's nice to get good surprises like that. Smile
