Peter says, "Strawberry anemones are not true anemones (Order Actinia). Order Corallimorpharia is sort of in between coral and anemone, a coral-like anemone if you will. Encyclopedia Britannica says, 'Sea-anemone-like solitary or aggregated polyps lacking basilar muscles and skeleton. Coral-like muscles and nematocysts. Mostly tropical.'"
