Hello, so I found this tiny fella with my rocks and I can't really tell the difference between the various carpet anemonies (hamond, true carpet etc). Can anyone tell me what kind this please? Thanks.

it looks more like a Rhodactis sp. of mushroom to me...
That would be my guess, too.
It looks like a Rhodactis sp. but also looks like a mini carpet. When you touch it is it sticky? Will it take in whole things like small silver sides or shrimp? :unsure:
Here's a good pic of a mini carpet anemone for comparing. But from looking at the two pics I am guessing a mini carpet.

Thanks for the replies guys. I too thought it was a kind of mushroom but then I started to lean towards carpet anemone.
Can a Rhodactis sp move around the aquarium? This thing has a big white foot with some small stripes on it. It has a sticky touch and was amazing to watch climb up a piece of rock (took like 3 hours).
It does look a lot like the mini carpets in your picture rayme, is that a hammonds carpet anemone?
Thanks again.
+1 on mini carpet. looks very similar to the ones that I have. if it's sticky, it's an anemone of some kind.
Thanks, at least now I know for sure that its some sort of anemone. Have your started to split already Phurst?
Yep, they have. i started with 2 about 6 months ago and have half a dozen now.
Yup those definitely look like the one I have, they seem to be doing great. Have they proven to be aggressive at all? Thanks for the pic :).
No, they're pretty passive. they will sting anything they touch, but they keep to themselves in my tank.
Awesome, thanks again.
