What Is It Called?

[Dorri]

I am a bit embarrassed to be asking this, but today I went into an amazing Fish Store and they had humungous tropical fish that I've only seen in books and movies. What an experience! The question I have for you all, they also had something that looked like rocks and corals, but it was alive and moving, one had many squiggly arms? what are these things called ( in general). As you can tell, it's all new to me.

Sea anemones?

I looked up sea anemones and atleast one of them looked similar to this. Weird that they are living creatures.

marine fish and anemones/corals/corallimopharians/zoanthids/palys, or cichlids, those are the best looking things IMO.

They could also be various LPS corals (large polyp stony corals) since LPS corals have a skeleton which is like rock and lots of flesh, either in a big meaty blob or as tentacles.
