Does anyone know what kind of anemone this is? I started him at the bottom of the rock and he has moved to the very top, full light and full flow. Thanks! He is about 8" across.
 
S helianthus.
Thank you! I think you are correct! Google shows the common name as sun anemone. Do you know anything about them? Like where I might get another one?
 
Petco, it will be probably be misidentified as S gigantea though. Most of the online vendors don't sell them as they're not in high demand since they won't host. They're found in the Caribbean.

Thanks so much!
