Sea Anememonee?

I've just uploaded more than 20 observations of sea anemones -- at least, I'm assuming all of them are actiniarians -- and most of them are in need of identification. Through the years I've simply labeled my photos "unknown sea anemone" (except, of course, for the popular ones, like Heteractis magnifica and Entacmaea quadricolor). In the beginning, sea anemones just didn't hold my interest, hence the dearth of scientific names in this collection.

But after reviewing my photos with the "unknown" tag, I realized just recently that I'd already collected so many unidentified sea anemones, and that they come in intriguing and even unexpected shapes and forms and colors. Hopefully the iNat community can help me get most of them identified!
