Anemonicity (Grand Cayman)

[bmorescuba]

Going through photos from my recent trip to Grand Cayman, I found this shot. I hadn't even paid attention to the anemone when I snapped it - too busy trying to get close to the Pederson Shrimp without touching anything. But now that I look at it more closely, I don't recognize the anemone species. I thought at first it was a Sun Anemone (of which I have seen many). However, now I'm wondering if maybe it's a Beaded Anemone instead (which I don't ever recall seeing). Thoughts?

It looks more like a knobby anemone to me.

I don't know. It doesn't look like other Knobby Anemone I've seen, which look like this (above the Arrow Crab):

(I like your Curacao pics, btw) Here's a link to a similar picture I took in Curacao:

I always thought that stuff was some type of algae!

Here's what I have as knobby http://http://www.designbysue.com/gallery/v/nekton08/113_G.jpg.html

Thought maybe a corkscrew - Corkscrew Anomone, but on closer inspection - it looks more like an algae - with the green soft looking "leaves".

Thanks for all the replies. I was still struck with the feeling that these answers weren't right, so I posted on WetPixel and did some more research. The anemone pictured is, in fact, a Branching Anemone (Lebrunia danae). Here's some more info: Sea Scripts' Publishing
I should have noticed the forked tentacles earlier on - would have made things much easier.
