Can you confirm ID for me please

[NeedAReef]

Id and particulars...food, enemies, reef safe? Low or high in the tank etc

Am thinking Cherry Anemone (Red Waratah Anemone)

Maybe? for reference it is larger than a US Quarter.

Where did you get it? Looks like a temperate water anemone.

local LFS. Someone traded it in, was sitting in one of their hold tanks for several months, they were not sure what kind it was and no one was asking, but I did, so I grabbed it.

Just hoping someone can help ID it so I can figure out what will work best for it. Seems to be happy currently.

You’re right it’s a waratah

I have not seen much online about care etc just some wikipedia stuff and one cannot always trust that for aquarium stuff IMO. Hoping for some folks who have kept them to provide tips

It's very similar to a beadlet anemone but the difference is the white markings around the mouth
If a times it balls up and looks like a blob and when you put food in the tank it opens up fully it then has the same behaviour as a beadlet

i think it will be hardy and will need not much care my anemones take flake also tiny pellets
Frozen food either spot feed with a turkey baster or let it get it from your water current
Feed twice a week, I like to spot feed them just small amounts
The waratah looks very similar to the beadlet
