Anemone Identification

Pittsford_Pets · Dec 3, 2017

These are what I'm interested in. Doesn't really look like a Bubble tip though... Thoughts? Didn't get a good look at the anemone last time I was there, but went today to trade in some plants and wasn't sure about it when I looked.

If you'd like to see the video (this is screenshot) look on my insta @reeftank20g on insta

What lighting is the anemone under, it looks pale. Nice clownfish.

Not sure, I'll have to ask. I don't even know what kind of anemone it is - doesn't look like a BTA to me. I've seen the anemone twice and I guess I thought it was bubble just cause they labeled it. Haven't paid a ton of attention not the actual anemone cause I've just been going in for my application stuff.

Any idea what kind of anemone?

Hard to tell from the pic but it could be a bubble tip that's just unhappy.

Looks like a bleached gbta.

Do you think it's still a good deal? 70 for the clown and anemone. I can just get the clown though (45)

Condy/Haitian?

What is your tank setup? How old? Lights, etc.

Fairly confident in it being a bta. It doesn't look bad but whatever anemone it is, it is bleached, so you are not starting off with a good specimen. It can come back given a proper environment, but be aware it is not suppose to look like that.

Definitely not a condylactis species

Not my tank. It's in a Pet World that I just started working at, and it doesn't look anything like what I've seen a bta look like before... It'd be going into a Fluval Evo XII with media from my 10g. That is, after it goes through a month of qt and the Fluval goes through a month "cycling" - even though it's already my old rocks/sand/media.

I'm not sure that I want an already "damaged" anemone to be my first

Yes. I understood it was not in your tank. I was asking what your tank setup is because you were thinking about purchasing it. It can come back given a proper setup.

Cool, thank you!
