I know it as a tiger anemone

For years I have known this guy as a Tiger anemone. All us divers around JB know it as such ... but now I need one I can't seem to find a scientific name for them anywhere. Do they have another name in the rest of the universe? Do they have a scientific name??

It's a Nemanthus, maybe annamensis. I don't know what's in your neck of the woods....

Thanks Leslie,

Local folklore has it that its a visitor on the warmer waters of the EAC - which would make it a GBR / Coral Sea regular. From personal observation it is very seasonal.
