ID for anemone and for corals?

[neurotech]

Can you help me to identify these? The anemone was only described to me as a Haitian. It is simetimes greener.

I just bought the coral colony which was described as Polyps. Anything more specific?

Thanks!!

The second picture shows a colony of zooanthid polyps. Getting down to the species is almost impossible even with a clear picture or the specimine in hand. You image doesn't show up in the post; I had to follow the link.

I no little about anemone identification, so I will leave that question to someone else w/ more experience.

I believe you have the same anemones as I do--are they green with a pink "mouth" area? Sometimes the tips of the arms are a little bubble shaped? (not always) Mine only grow to the size of the first joint on my thumb. They divide by splitting longitudinally.
If this sounds good email me and I'll look for the darned article that I can't find right now. If I get the article, I can get the name. HTH amber

I would also like to know the sp. of your anenome, mine looks very similar but is about the size of a dinner plate when he stretches the tentacles out.
More peculiar is that I caught him with his perverbial "hand in the cookie jar" when I came home from work today: amazing enough,
he had crawled behind the rockwork and dug out an aptasia, and proceeded to kill the thing.
I guess sometimes we get lucky, huh?

I'm no expert but the local LFS calls that anemone a long tentacle anemone (Macrodactyla doreensis). Of course, you know how LFSes are

It looks similiar to some photos of Macrodactyla doreensis but I can't find a photo of a green one so who knows.

a "haitian" is a type of condylactus.

Looks like a condy to me too. Common here in Fl Long tentacle was a good guess too, but I think is usually has less color or all white, I think. it is another local anemone also. But I would guess condylactus.
