Thanks Snoop. Both of those anemones in that picture where caught at the same location the same dive. Both are tube type but different varities. I bought some diving digging tool so I should be able to get tube anemones easier the next time I go. I had tp dig down about a foot to get them before. It's really hard to dig sand underwater with your hand.

The small ones stay out most of the time. The big one comes out around 6-7:00pm and go back in its tube around 9:00am.

Do they only come out when the lights are out?

it comes out about 4 hours before they go off, sometime it will stay out all day but usually just in the evening around 6:00 and all night until around 10 in the morning.
