Anem ID help

Can you take few more pics with its column and mouth? If it does not root for a day, I would check on it

Last pic is the latest one?

 

[Duke x13]

They didn't go in order, one, two, six and eight are from earlier/yesterday. The ones of the mouth was taken just now. Number 3 is where it is at currently. Burrowed on the sand.

Awesome, thank you for the help. I will wait to feed him. I can't wait to introduce a pair of clowns to it!

The way the foot looks, although a better pic of the column to show if it has verrucae would help, the top down shot (tentacle spacing compared to condy) and the fact that it is in the sand bed all point to this being a M. doreensis

Agreed, that's what I'm thinking as well. If I ever get a chance I will take a better picture of the column. I'd hate to mess with it now that it seems settled.

Yeah, no need to disturb it, I'm confident you have a LTA. What kind of clowns do you plan on getting for it?

I'm not quite sure yet. I've need to do a bit more research, but I do like mocha and maroon clowns.

The comment of some clowns host, some don't is not really correct(and aside from the terminology standpoint, the anemone does the hosting)
All clowns will want a host, difficulty comes when we do not give the type of anemone the clown would normally be found in the wild, when not given a natural host anemone is when it often takes much longer for the clowns to recognize it.

As for ID, I have not seen a good pic that shows verracue, so I would not confirm LTA just yet.
It would be nice to know for certain as that would sway decision on what might be best clowns suited for it.
