    I have a new one, I found something today that looks like to cutest little clear cup coral, but just not sure. I have some terrible pictures, however since the little guy is clear you can't really see it.

    It looks a little like a rock anemone but clear with little tiny white/clear balls at the end of its tentacles. And there are two of them.

    Well the pictures aren't clear enough but it sounds like Corynactis anemones.

    You appear to be correct again. It looks more specifically now that I have direction to be, corallimorphidae. Cool new critter ID'd and it's pretty. Thank you.
