What is the proper name of this anemome. I brought him home lastnight. Couldn't resist. I know I shouldn't "buy fisrt, ask later" but who hasn't done that? Any advice?

Hopefully your mandarin and other small fishies won't think it's as pretty as we all do.

Thanks for the correct ID. I just finished researching this beautiful addition and I am pleased with the information that I have found at http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/june2004/invert.htm
I trust this info and found many myths about this creature. I was lucky enough to have placed him properly in my tank without this information and I think that I have the right enviorment for him.
