There were hundreds of them, I would say 10% were out of the water at times.

The purple tip'd nems look nice, may even be atlantic nems but I could be wrong :rolleyes:

Hate to ruin the exotic trip but these two species are the same as we have around the UK coastline, or maybe at the very least a slight variation :confused: !!!

The red one is the Beadlet Anemone, Actina equina.

The other is the Snakelocks, Anemonia viridis.

:rolleyes:

what he said.

Beadlet nems - not suitable for our tanks tho. They require colder tanks (still warm, but not as warm as ours)

I was miss sold 2 when i first started out, one laster about 3 weeks the other lasted about 4 months but never really opened. Then after alot of reading around i found out the real truth, they require colder water :(
