 |  My new freebie!
I bought some live rock and it took me almost two weeks to realize this tube anemone was on the back of the rock! lol I don't know much about them and I haven't had much luck finding anything so any advise is welcome.   |

All of the lfs around here sells them as tube anemone's I know what aiptasia looks like but this is bright green in the center. I have even found a lot of sights that sell them as tube anemone's as well. Am I missing something? | |

People need to get their eyes checked. (either that or get a batch of aitapsia in their tank to remember what aitapsia looks like).
