Sorry, no. But they look a lot like an Australian variety that likes tidepools and cooler water.

Those are commonly called Wartah(sp?) anemones. They are found in tropical as well as temperate waters.
From what I understand, they have a strong sting and can reproduce fairly quickly.

Thanks phender, that's the one I was thinking about.

It's the 'Waratah anemone.' But I can't be sure it's the same as the one Subliminal posted. The only websites I could find info on Waratahs did specify cold water, though. Again, could be different species or variants.
