Hi
We got in a super rare Anemone (Phyllodiscus-Semoni)that mimics an Acropora coral (Acropora digitifera). I have attached 2 pictures below, one from ReefBuilders and the other we took at the store. This guy is selling for $199


Thanks for looking
AV

that thing is sick!!!! How venomous? Hospitalized venomous?

I got stung by one after brushing up on it and it hurt like hell.

"Sea anemones, members of the phylum Coelenterata, are armed with venom-secreting nematocytes to aid in the capture of prey and to protect from predators. Most of these venoms are harmless to humans or induce mild dermatitis. However, a few species of sea anemones possess highly toxic venoms hazardous for humans. Phyllodiscus semoni is one of the most dangerous. Envenomation by the sea anemone Phyllodiscus semoni causes fulminant dermatitis and, rarely, acute renal failure in humans. The sting induces severe dermatitis with local ulceration and swelling that often takes months to resolve."
