Were these legally obtained? I know there are many provisions set unless a license or permit was obtained.

The person that collected them is a licensed collector, my fiance bought them from him but he doesn't remember what they are.

Where can I find anything on them?

 

[Adri]

The only thing that comes up is relating to Barcelona Spain, surely this can't be them.

Someone actually identified them...
Scientific Name: Bunodosoma cavernata
Also known as: American Warty Anemone

According to the site i posted, cavernata doesn't have markings on the tenticle?

 

[Adri]

Agreed, looks like these are the red warties :D I wonder how Reef safe these are? If at all... :/

I would say it depends on how much they move around? Most rock nems will almost stay where they are placed. Sometimes they can move if conditions aren't to their liking.
