No.
I'm with Matt. This looks like a textbook bleached carpet to me.

I called the number...is this a retail store?
Near as I can tell it's a public aquarium, with an emphasis on birds, opposum, alligators and, apparently, goldfish ( http://www.associatedcontent.com/articl ... tml?page=2 ). They do seem to have a couple of reef tanks in evidence though ( http://www.tampabayaquarium.com/livecoral.htm )

I saw that.

The first 3 digits of the numbers don't match this phone number. Not to mention a "FISH" suffix on a phone number does not sound like a public institution. I think it's a different beast.
Looks like it's a storefront that opened up recently:
Tampa Bay Aquarium
Lutz, FL 33559

Strange thread. The public aquarium in the region isn't the "Tampa Bay Aquarium" it is "The Florida Aquarium". They have a fantastic coral propagation program (including a prop system on their roof filled with Atlantic species). Marj Awai was the curator there, she left recently to go to the Atlanta Aquarium, where her husband, Bruce Carlson works. Does that name ring a bell?
Funny though, in nearly 40 years of keeping marines, the ONLY carpet I ever had that did well was a faded Stichodactyla gigantea given to me by a guy moving out of town. He had it for something like 5 years and it lived another five years for me - in a 300 gallon tank with all of 160 watts of light over it. Of course, we stick fed it three times a week. Maybe this bleached anemone will live as well as that one did? (No, probably not)
