Anemone ID please.

I've searched RC.com and the net and have had no luck at all ID'ing this guy. It was in my friends tank for about 8 months to a year. I was given the tank along with EVERYTHING in it. Before the tank was moved over to my house, the anemone was a light green in the center with small brown bumps. It has just now started to open up again, alot of the color has been lost, but is slowly comming back now. When fully inflated it's about 4" across, and as you can see in the pic, it has very short tenticals.

Can anybody ID this guy for me?

Thanks

Mark

Ps, that is just a little piece of food on the anemone.

Looks like a rock/flower/beaded anemone (Epicystis crucifer).

Hi,

It indeed, does look like an Epicystis. Fed reasonably well, they do well in our systems.
