Default ID Hitchhiker Please!?

Please, please help!

I purchased some mushrooms and when i got it home I discovered these on the rock. They are small about the size of Yellow Polyps they have a stolen and are spread on a mat. They appear white with a tint on green on the tips of the tenticles. Each "thing" seems to have a couple of tenticles which reach out and grab particles floating by.

Any ideas?

It looks like a Anemone. I have not been able to find a name yet or a picture that looks just like it.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated I was also toying with an Anemone - can't find a pic of it on the net either, hence I decided it wasn't one. Now, is it good or bad!?

Oh such fun...

Again, thanks!

That is a question for a expert which I'm not. If some one here cant give you a answer you could try sending a email to wetwebmeda. They are real good about answering and will get back to you. Then your answer will come from some one with formal training.
I would use this pic in the email I think it is the best.

If you do send your pics to WWW, make absolutely sure you use correct grammar, or they will chastise you for it. They will know what it is...I think those people are part fish themselvses.
