Is your tank set up yet? Or are you planning a tank for it?

they are very hard to keep and should be kept only by very experienced hobbyist. you have to have a very mature tank and have tons of light. Look into it a lot more before you go and buy and end up killing it, which will happen if you are new to this and don't have the right equipment. I want one too, but I know I can't keep it healthy so I am not going to get it.

Looks like a Bubble Tip Anemone. Once of the easier ones to care for but not advised for a new tank or someone new to the hobby. You need good, stable water quality and metal halide or high output flourescents. There are also a number of "dangers" in tanks like powerheads and overflows that you need to be careful of.

they do need a little care but are not THAT hard to keep, what kind of lights do you have> how old is the tank?, you can start with some of the cheaper anenomes(sp?) and move to the harder more light demanding ones as you go.

I have my RBTA for a little over 1 year now. It had splitted a couple of time. It's was hard for me to keep but I've heard that they are hard to keep. Good luck

people are going to be reluctant to give advice on this without knowing the details of your setup-- I assume you're going to use the 46 bowfront listed in your profile, but what else do you have, equipment-wise? Filtration? Protein skimmer? Sump/refugium? What kind of flourescent (one single cool-white bulb?) Live rock? How much? How old is the tank? All important factors.

This book is great for corals:
[ericsbook] Soft corals with photosynthetic symbionts are generally easy to keep. Xenia, star polyps, mushroom corals, leather corals, and zoanthids are all easy to find and keep.
