Can anybody help me decide whether this is an anemone or mushroom.
in the picture it is under the polyps, I think it may be a mushroom, at night it shrinks in size, it hasent moved and dosent curl up. Attach file:  Picture 215.jpg (692.46 KB) |

i dont think it could be an anemone, would say its probably a mushroom, or could be something else.. keep your eye on it and see how it does.. it might be easier to ID when its a bit bigger.... but on first look id say mushroom of some kind.

it does look like a ricordea...
corallimorphs arent actual anemones, they are separate species.. mushroom anemone is the common term for corallimorphs. corallimorph link |

Its a ricodea,
I bought a ricodea rock with a couple of baby ricoda's on it. at their younger stage they can be confused with majano. |
