Just trying to figure out the exact type of anemone this is? Also looks like it's growing another "eye" since I've had it. Curious if it will split? Sorry, my camera doesn't really pickup the colors. But it's all neon green with bubble like tips. Originally there was only one "eye". Just recently found a second.

Feel free to suggest camera apps.

That appears to be ricordea florida, if I had to guess from the pic. It is a mushroom, strictly speaking, and not an "anemone" that you would typically see like a bubble tip...

Not sure what the mushroom mechanism is precisely - likely budding, asexual reproduction (splitting) - looks like you are seeing that already as it is growing another "eye" (it is really a mouth), which will eventually separate into another discrete mushroom...
