Anemone ID

dabgood21 · 05-17-2008, 03:37 PM

I've had this anemone for over 2 years now and I'm not positive what it is. Maybe a long tentacle? It's green with purple tips (more like purple dots on its tips).

I've had GB Maroons and now I have a Treu Percula and they both loved it but I'd rather get one that looks nicer, maybe a white or rose bulb.

Any ideas on what this is?

hard to tell but looks like a lta

Any recommendations for true perculas if I decide to replace this anemone for another?

I know the general matches of what anemone is best for specific clowns but I'm curious what some of you may have and how much you like it? This is the only anemone I've ever owned but I'd like to get one that has tentacles close together so the clown can rally dig in between them.

Thanks

what kind of light do you have?

I have one that looks the same as that with the same purple dots on the tips. It was sold to me as a BTA that wasn't bubbling anymore, but I doubt it. It doesn't 'hang' with my other two BTAs.

Right now I have an orbit fixture with 2x96 watt PCs but I'm trying to figure out the best upgrade option for my 40 gallon breeder. I know that I want to go with T-5s but I'm not sure if I want the Nova Extreme Pro, Tek, or this http://www.cadlights.com/product_inf...607f7ee3698a20

I want a 6 bulb 36" T-5 setup

It might be a sebae stretching for light.

Condylactis gigantea and a really healthy looking one at that.

if your clowns are hosting it, it isnt a condy, and if it is get rid of it, it will sting and kill and eat fish, lost 4 fish when i first started out nd took me a little bit t figure it out what was killing my fish

clowns do not usually host condylactilus, as they are from different oceans it is not a natural host. clowns CAN AND WILL host in condy's. you are safer with a condy than you are a carpet anemone which is often used as a host for clowns....
