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 ID FAQs pages:

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.>

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> |  |
