Rock Anemone

A few days ago I bought a "Rock Anemone". I cant find any info about it in my books. Its only about the size of a quarter and fluorescent green. After 2-3 days I now have 2 of them, the new one seems a little bigger than the original. Anyone have them or know about them?

I may try to dice up some silversides, the "Rock Anemones" are very small. I was hopeing someone that had them could give me some insite. All I have been able to find out is that they are from the Atlantic. I started with one and now have two in a few days, I hope they keep that up.

Mine is solid white with stripes on it tentacles. Ive had it for 3 yrs and feed it every month or so, some silversides or mysis. They tend to move around till thy are happy and will liquefy any corals that they touch. I had a turbo snail knock a yellow fiji leather onto the anemone and it seriously liquefied it.
