    The LFS had it tagged as a Christmas Tree Anemone. It does look like an anemone but I can't find any information on it. Sorry the pictures are crappy I took them with my cell phone. Thanks for any help! ~JAMIE~

    It's beautiful. I haven't seen one ouside of a large commercial aquarium. I can't find a good citation, but have seen it called a "Branching anemone" or an "Aggregate anemone".

    I found a reference in WetWebMedia.com, with pictures. It's a Branching Anemone.

    It's in the anemone Family Actinodendronidae, such as Actinodendron plumosum or Actinodendron arboreum.

    Great find Jamie, but you should do some research on it so you know how to take care of it. Good luck with it. Luna
