I would really appreciate if someone could give me latin or scientific name of the flower anemone that I got couple of weeks ago. That would help me to take better care of this critter. Here's the pic:

I agree, hecteractis malu, however, extremely bleached. I have never seen a Sebae without purple tips at the end of the tenticles even when bleeched. Oh well, I haven't seen them all. The anenome will darken to a medium brown, if you are lucky, over the next few months. If it does not than it will surely die. Feed it small servings of marine food such as silversides, or shrimp and scollops from your local grocer. By the way, beautiful perc's.
