Strange Anemone ID

[Lanny]

Just got in a couple "feather carpets" in from a whole saler in LA. My first guess was cryptodendrum but it's most likely not that.
These guys are about 4" across

@Eagle_Steve what are your thoughts?

 

[bradleym]

@Nemguy123 do these look like the ones you got? I thought you got something similar a few months ago.

 

[F i s h y]

It is very similar to this but not the same. Where will these be for sale at. Would love to discuss via pm.

Where does it originate from?

Thalassianthus Aster has been around for a good couple of years and looks very similar, so it could be. They were always coming in with brown tentacles though, never saw green ones like this until this year.

Haha yeah! They are hard to see in person. My photos are taken on a S21 with that juicy 108mp camera. I have to scale them down 40% from 9000x12000.
