A carpet nem?


Calvo

Yes but there are several species of carpets. S. Haddoni, s. Gigantea, Atlantic carpet anemones, etc.

From the pic on my phone the tentacles look really short leading me to believe that it is S. Haddoni. Do you have a full shot of it instead of just the close up? I'll take another look at it when i get home on a bigger screen, till then maybe trex or someone can help better ID it

I dont but I measured the tentacles and they are about 5 to 8mm long. And on the bottom side he has the spots coming up the column. I'll try for a better pic tomorrow

the anemone in that picture is 10 inches across? it looks tiny!

if we could see a picture or a detailed description of the underside of this anemone that will greatly help with the ID.

 

[alexingalls09]

ok i hope this is a better picture

 

[alexingalls09]

after looking through hundreds of pics on line im beginning to lean more towards s. haddoni too....im just hoping that my ocellaris clows will host with it

 

[setsmard]

is it opening up fully?

 

[alexingalls09]

he has opened up fully a few times but he is new to the tank and still trying to find a place to be happy and i had just fed him right before i took this pic

 

[alexingalls09]

is it opening up fully?

this is his how he normally sits throughout the day

It looks ticked off or not doing so well
Some questions
1.Can you get us a closer full shot of it?
2.Is it staying down by the sand or moving up into the rocks?
3.What type of lighting are you using?
4 How old is the tank?
5. What are you water parameters?

T5 lighting at 54w bulbs 4 of them 2 are 420/460 actnic 1 10k and one purple
Tank is a year old just added the nem yesterday
Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 and nitrate undetectable phosphate undetectable magnesium is 1200 salinity 1.025 calcium 500 pH 8.4 temp 75-78

Tank sounds to be running good and old enough. If it is staying toward the sand and not trying to move up into the rocks I would say Haddoni. Plus the tentacles look short. A healthy gig should look like a shaggy carpet,

I'm gonna wait a few weeks before I update pics because I saved him from petco so he could need time to recover from their tank
