Keeping purple tipped anemone

[Willbiker]

Hi All

I love the look of these anemone on ebay, both the Tangrey and Puple tipped Green anemone.. My ideal situation is to have no dead fish and my clowns hosting in one however I've heard that I should aim for atlanta anemones....

Do you know what type these are? Am I likely to loose fish if I introduce them to my 650l DT? If so, I will avoid

Thanks

Will

Looks like an LTA but not sure if it will host a clownfish. There was a guy in Scotland that I message with that had a couple that looked like that. His clowns that loved anemonies before would not get near those ones.
For the price, I’m guessing it is one that will not host. (I could be wrong)

Old thread i know but i see it and thought it was worth the mention due to the identification being wrong above.

Those are Snakelock anemones, the name says all you need to know (Anemonia viridis) and are found in waters around the UK. They are known to prey on fish so im hoping you didnt go ahead and purchase.

They should not be sold in the manner they are on eBay to us hobbyists and are not suitable for our tanks.

Thanks for the reply. Luckily I didnt go ahead! Hopefully others will see this thread and will not buy them
