it appears to be an anemone from the Atlantic (Condylactis spp.)

I agree. I think it looks like a Condy (a.k.a. the Haitian Anemone or Giant Golden Anemone or Atlantic anemone).

its ok for clowns, they aint picky. however the corals will most likely, sooner or later feel the sting. and by the way its very pretty.

Hi jrod11,
I agree with the others, you have a Condylactis. He looks like a very healthy one. I have kept a number of them identicle to yours. Be sure you do some research on them so you know what to expect and provide the proper care for him. There is loads of information available on this species. Good luck with him.

This morning i woke up and of course checked the tank first thing to see if the anmone had moved or anything else. I was very surprised because my small black damsel was inside the anemone just like a clownfish would use as a host. I am hoping that the anemone is not stinging the damsel, but the damsel swims out of the anemone and then will return to it seconds later, repeating this over and over. I did not expect this!
