Corynactis australis

So what are the chances of this being in a tank?

It looks identical and is a low light creature.

If the information about it's habitat that I found here is correct, then it's a temperate species. Tasmania is located at 40 degrees South lattitude. That's more temperate than, for example, New Orleans, which is at 30 degrees North lattitude.

Also, according to that site, it's habitat is NSW south to Victoria and around Tasmania. You can't get live rock from Australia.

If that's it's only habitat, then you probably don't have it in your tank.

Thanks Ninong,
Than I will still search for the anemone or coral. I wish I could get a good picture of mine. I will eventually. I have been trying every night since I found It. Oh, I also am confident that it is not a manajo. It's color variety is too yellowish. I also set one buy some mushrooms to see if it would effect them and it has not. They open together and seem to live in peace.

I'll keep looking for the identity.

I am some what new to the reef scene so I may be wrong, but what I have looks just like Corynactis australis. I did my best to get a good pic. See the link below.

There are about 5 or so species of Corynactis and one of Pseudocorynactis found in areas where LR is collected. C. australis isn't one of them.
