This guy showed up with one large stem and many long tentacles. Any ideas?

where was the live rock from?

Based on the photo, I'm guessing it's a curlique (pronounced "curly-Q") anemone.

They're sold in the trade but I know nothing about their care or compatibility.

Most recent was Gulf Live Rock. Original seed was KP. Guessing it was GLR but who knows.

yup then pretty much 100% chance to bea curly q, it seems they're from the carribean and the gulf of mexico, do you have any small or slow moving fish? from what Im reading from multiple sources it says they're on the predatory side and a risk
