Octopus nem owners unite!

Well @reeflover after looking at all of the images Google has to offer of the Armed anemone (dofleinia armata), I'm thinking you are correct. Or at least more so than I. Some of the images are a lot closer to it than the octopus anemone. I'm still going to do a little more research but Now I've got to change the name of the thread!
I hope it is because it has more info on it then the Octo. For instance it's from Australia if that is correct. One of the largest species that Australia has to offer.

My display is a 75-gallon but he got moved to my refugium because he was killing all my snails and I was afraid for my fish. That is a 30 long where he is the centerpiece

This first picture shows the same striping pattern underneath. Although the colors are different. That 2nd shows that they come in the same color. Only thing I'm having trouble with is the central disc. The few that give a good shot of the Armed anemone Central disc do not look exact. But I can only find a couple pics.

Also I found a description that says the inner tentacles are twice as long as the outer. After going back and reviewing videos I've posted this is also the same

Nice!! At least it gives you a direction to go in! Very impressive species I'd like to get my hands on one!

Thought I was doomed. Usually there aren't too many people that out research me. Great job and I appreciate it.

I actually read the description in my invert book while looking up another nem and it sounded identicle to what u had so I did I little digging...

Kind of funny because I just came across another really good researcher. And that one's name is @Lovemyreef2015 . A couple really good IDs on pods.

Love my reef and reef lover. I guess loving reefs helps with research

Huh, never heard of one before, neat, but I have to say I'd be leary of silversides as those have been problematic for many anemone keepers, safer spot feed options out there, shrimp, scallops...
