ROFL! Yeah man...No one wants to help you:lol: Naw...the thread probably just needed a bump or nobody knows. How's your tank doing these days? Soon time for an update:D
 
hard to tell from the pics but the first one might be a corallimorph which will eat clown fishes! be carefull until you get a more experienced or knowledgeable person to positively id it!
 
What are their sizes and do you know if they have any bumps or spots on the "stalk" or around the mouth? What color is the stalk... where did they come from? The one that looks like a corallimorph could be very large, hard to tell from a picture. It looks like a ricordea to me but they don't get big :) And I think corallimorphs are from the Caribbean? Maybe you should get better pix and more info and put the question on the coral forum, Borneman can probably help a lot more than we can.

No idea on the second one, a few possibilities but the pic is far to blurry.

On the first one, do the edges have a different tentacle orientation than the middle area or is that just a trick of the photography.? Was it indeed caught in Australian waters or from the LFS?

Cheers

its not a corlaimorph for sure and it dose have bumps on the stawk i know its a heritces* sorry for spelling mistake just now sure what type would of posted in the coral section but anenomes arent coral
its ok if no one knows i think it might be a small carpet its atleast 5-6 inches across thanx for all the replys i thought i upset sum one and was black listed
yeh i know i havent updated my thing for awhile krish but my camera isnt that flash got heaps of stuff to take pics of to and a new crispa i picked up today and an awsome bubble tip for my maroons in a differnt tank which one loves and the other is yet to give it attention
thanks again all
 
Its impossible to be sure with those photos, we need in focus pics of the two anemone's that are from a closer perspective and also show the foot of the anemone and whether or not they have any verrucae, (bumps), on the underside of the oral disc.

I'm kinda leaning toward H.aurora for the 1st one, but they typically bury their foot in substrate, not hang out on rocks. And the folds along the oral disc are very reminiscent of Carpet anemones.
