Entacmaea quadricolor (Ruppell & Leuckart 1828), the Bubble-Tip or Bulb-Tentacle Sea Anemone. Family Actiniidae. This is historically the hardiest of large, naturally symbiotic Clownfish anemones for aquarium use... many more specimens are collected and received in tact, in reasonably good health from the wild to distributors. And more and more folks are offering very hardy "fragged" individuals that are asexual cloned aquacultured specimens. Raja Ampat.

Heteractis crispa (Ehrenberg 1834), the Leathery or Sebae Sea Anemone. Family Stichodactylidae. Often mis-sold/identified in the trade as H. ritteri and the commonest species in the market as the "Sebae Anemone". Has numerous long, tapering tentacles that end in points with a centered pink dot. Column gray in color. Raja Ampat.

Heteractis aurora (Quoy & Gaimard 1833), the Beaded Sea Anemone. Family Stichodactylidae. Up to two inch tentacles, eleven inch disc width, with characteristic beaded appearance. With apparent mouth opening and often with radiating appearance from center. Stalk may be mottled or solid orange or red. Live attached to solid structure, able to retract completely beneath the substrate. Raja Ampat.
