There is such thing as a cauliflower coral, dendronephthya sp., but I can't really tell from the pictures.

[Davidbugera]

Will the coral eat fish cause this thing will take in a whole silverside without any hesitation. Also the foot and disk look very simuler the th bubble tip but each tentacle looks like a colt coral

[Gizmoh]

No, it would not. I can't get a good look at it from the picture. May be above my pay grade.

Hell's fire anemone.a toxic type of anemone that resembles a soft coral.Keep with caution,..one of the scientific name comes to mind is Actinodendron glomeratum.

[Gizmoh]

Definitely Actinodendron sp., nailed it. That's probably one that should be properly identified when sold :P.

Good luck with it and be carefully what you place in the same tank.

Yes they should have but you should not be buying any creature without knowing all about its needs, foods, size of tank, whether it will likely survive or best left in the ocean.

Frist off I have all top grade equipment and decent water quality so I'm sure it will be fine it that aspect. And if the pet store don't give the right name how do u see what it is be for some on else take it, so ya I grabed it. As for food it's a anemone so I'm sure fish and light would be main diet. I came on here to make sure I new what it was so I could care for it. If all this is a problem ill march right over to the ocean it would have never seen again and put him in it, or better yet ill give it back to the pet store and they can kill it with all there **** care.does that work for u.
