Anemone ID, E. quadricolor, Bubble Tipped
Anemone, BTA- 06/15/08
Hi,
<Hello Kirsty, Brenda here! >
I hope you are well.
<Thank you! >
It’s been a while since I have been in touch and am needing an ID from
you if it’s ok to ask.
<It sure is! >
I've had this nem for some months now and "she", (aka "Her Majesty"),
has grown considerably since I first got her, (due to this I am
arranging an upgrade!). Could you help confirm an ID? I've had many a
suggestion from other reefers but thought I'd ask my friends at WWM!
<It appears to be an E. quadricolor, also known as a Bubble Tipped
Anemone (BTA). >
If you need any other angles, please let me know!
<Nope! You have provided plenty of great shots! >
Thanks in advance,
Kirsty
<You’re welcome! Brenda > |

Re: Ritteri anemone help 06/14/08
Hi again, Shea here just writing you back with the description of my anemone. It
is white with light green tips and a white base. It's kind of in a flower shape.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks, Shea
<Mmm, nope... Stop writing. Read here: http://wetwebmedia.com/

ID.... Aiptasia? 6/9/08
Found this guy on a new piece of rock that I received.. It -appears- to be
the only one.
<Yay!>
I read through all the anemone FAQs and the closest seems to be aiptasia, but
the coloring is different and the tentacles seem kind of rigid.
<Does look like an aiptasia to me.>
Wanted to check with you guys for an ID before pulling the rock and scrubbing
it.
<I would remove.>
Thanks,
Richard

No one knows what this is!!! 6/6/08
First off, I would like to thank you very much for the time the crew
puts into this very demanding web site. It has been so very useful in my
new
hobby and the information I have gotten has been very invaluable. I have
an anemone in my 120 gallon FOWLR tank that no one seems to know what
the heck it is.
<Hmm... looks familiar, didn't you write in with this a few weeks ago?>
I know one thing about it….it will eat ANYTHING…lol. I am not sure where
I got it but it is over 8 years old now and shows no signs of slowing
down and has survived a couple of total fatal crashes in the tank. At
rest it is 2 inches in diameter at the mouth and the trunk is usually a
couple of
inches long, but when it wants to feed it stretches to 3-4 inches and
can go longer and the mouth area will swell to approx. 3-4 inches in
diameter. I feed it silversides but it has been known to eat any fish
that gets close.
In one week I lost two powder blue tangs, a cleaner shrimp and assorted
other critters, I know this because it regurgitated the mess after it
was
done with it. Anyway, I would at least like to know what species this is
so I can point “Hannibal” out to people when they ask. Thanks for any
help you can give. My e-mail is ********@aol.com.
<As said before, it looks like a rock or flower anemone, but I'm not
sure. Anemones can be difficult to ID. Please look through the anemone

Anemone ID 05/30/2008
Just bought a piece of live rock today with button polyps.
There is the one little critter also on it, I am not sure of.
Is it an Aiptasia anemone? It is the only one that is on the rock. I do
have 2 peppermint shrimp in my 30 gallon tank.
<<Aiptasia it is. Please do read more in the following link, including
links, articles and FAQ's

Thanks, Sarah

Sara M BTA ID 5/16/08
Here is the photo of my little BTA. I feed him right after taking the photo and
he got really bulbous. Sorry about the grain, I had to take the photo on a high
ASA due to lighting, so let me know.
<Ok, it does look like a small BTA (though these animals are often difficult to
ID). If it's reacting well to feeding, I'd suggest that you just keep up the
feeding. The clown fish might actually be stressing it out a little.>
Now do Maroon's host Majano Anemone's?
<Well, I don't think this is a Majano anymore. But in any case, a clown can host
in just about anything...>
Because this little guy has a Maroon that hosts him.
Thanks Again for the wonderful information
<Best advice I can give you is to just keep up the feeding and water quality and
just have patience. Anemones can be finicky creatures.>

<De nada,

Re: Sara M BTA ID 5/19/08
Thank you Sara for that great information. I actually put the little Maroon in
the large tank with the Anemone this weekend, and they seem to be in love. The
Anemone is about 2x's the size of the Maroon so I don't think he is bothering
him too much, but I will tell you that the BTA got his bubble tips back.
<ah, good>
Also, the Maroon feeds him. I didn't think that that would happen so quickly. I
feel confident that I can place a Raccoon Butterfly in the tank and the Maroon
will protect the Anemone. I
already see the Maroon chase away the little Green Chromis when he gets near the
BTA. It is really enjoyable to watch the relationship those two animal have.
<It is! Congrats on finding a happy pair.>
Some times the Maroon seems to get a little aggressive with the Anemone but the
BTA seems to like it. The Picture I sent you was before the Maroon was
introduced, and now he looks completely different. He stands taller now and
seems to bulb a bit at the base. The little Maroon likes to swim around the base
of the Anemone holding his tail on the outside of the base as well. Thanks again
for all your help.

Anemone ID, Macrodactyla doreensis, LTA 5/12/08
Hi!
<Hello, Brenda here!>
Can you ID this anemone for me please? (see joined piece)
<Sure can!>
A reefer of my area bought it but I really don't know what kind it is...Regards.
<It is a Macrodactyla doreensis, commonly referred to as a Long Tentacle
Anemone, or LTA. From the picture it appears as if this anemone is in the
beginning stages of starvation. It needs to be fed small portions of meaty
foods. More information regarding this animal found here:
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/macrodoreensis.htm
Hope this helps! Brenda> |
