I have what I think is a baby coral or possibly anemone but its so small that I can't get a picture. it eats meat when i feed it. I put some shrimp on it today and it surrounded it and now its gone. What I'm looking for is not full grown pictures but pictures that will allow me to see what they look like at the beginning. I hope you can understand this.

Here is a description of what I have..

red base orange to white center. tentacles very clear but they have white spots on the edge. thats the only reason that I know the tentacles are there. when food is placed near it they seem to grab it and draw it in. this thing has not moved for a week.

any help greatly appreciated.

it glows under a blacklight. a orangy color. I also found a second frag/polyp withthe light as well.

Doesn't seem to be. do anemones flouresce? I just put a black light up and it got a very pretty orange.
