This is a Spinnaker/Candy-striped Anemone, Korsaranthus natalensis; it's particularly not reef-safe, as it is known to feed on octocorals (softies, gorgonians, etc.). The coloration on this one is pretty uncommon and quite striking IMO - neat to see in the wild.
Found this aswell, any idea what it is
The Cape Urchin, Parechinus angulosus - it's an herbivore in the kelp forests.
