| Mystery Anemone help - 02/25/06 I have this
mystery BTA that came in my live rock and I can't find anything
anywhere like it on the web. The pictures aren't
great, but it has a pink top like a rose BTA and a white
body. Each tentacle has a white stripe around the end
that is easily visible when it is short, but when it stretches out
it is harder to see. It grew to be about 4" tall
and 3" across the top when it split the first
time. The bottom one has since split into
3. It was on a T shaped ridge and split down the
ridge. It was also shaded by the above one so I think it
split because it was stressed. It never tried to
move. After it split I physically moved the 3
'babies' and each is doing just fine. The top
one grew up again and has just split again today. It
seems that 3-4" across the top and 4" tall is about as
big as it gets. All of the above has been taking place
over a period of about 6 months. The pictures aren't great, but
the anemone is just gorgeous. Much prettier than any I
have seen in a local fish store. It is the white strip
around each tip that really makes it pretty. Have you
seen anything like this or is it just 'some kind of rose
BTA'? <Don't know... but agree with you... is very
nice> Any info would be appreciated, but mostly it is just
curiosity. Thanks. Kirk Menard <Might indeed be another species.
Have seen such, and were offered as BTAs/Entacmaea. Cheers, Bob

| Identify these pics of marine life from my tank!
2/22/06 Hi! This is Sam from India. I wanted you to please try
and identify these pictures of marine life which i clicked from my
aquarium. Most of the life is collected from my local areas. Common
names, Latin names or even something close to will be fine, as i
can then refer to their special care for long life! The main stuff
to id is the anemone fish and the anemones. waiting for reply,
thanks. regards Sam <... These are all ID'd on WWM... with
the exception of the "Red Anemone" (don't know what
this is... the Carpet is a Haddoni... and the Tube Anemone... a
Cerianthus... not kept together, hard to keep individually... the
Clowns are Clarkii's... See WWM re Identification by group,
then their Systems... all posted. Bob Fenner> |

| Purple bubble tip anemone!! - 2/15/2006 I need to
know if it is possible, I am sending a picture, tell me if you get
it. <I see it here> Ok this
case is extremely weird, could be a mistake or whatever. I went to
the nature aquarium store here at Guadalajara Mexico, and new
specimens had just arrived. They had 2 new bubble tip anemones that
came together. One was a regular Bubble tip anemone and the other
one was this one, that under their actinic light looked fluorescent
blue. I watched the amazing color and thought it was a blue carpet
anemone, I asked the guy and he told me it was a bubble tip!. Then
it came to my mind that it looked like purple Heteractis magnifica.
<Yes> However after bringing it home and looked carefully at
it, it definitely has the shape of a bubble tip. And the color is
purple with green tips. Doesn't look like a dyed specimen, it
looks like a true morph. Could be the stress, could be sick, but
this is its first day in my tank. Anyways it is a purple bubble tip
anemone with green tips!!!. <Do come in a few colors> I will
be taking more pictures later. I am keeping it in a 70 gal tank
with 400 watt Power compacts, on the topmost spot. I think is good
lighting, I 've also have a Galaxea on the topmost of the tank
for about 4 months, and no complaints from it. <Color of the
stalk/pedicle? Are there obvious verrucae there? Bob

| Can you help with ID of this anemone?
1/30/06 I saw this anemone posted as a recent purchase on a
local reef board I frequent. It was described "
This is not dyed, <Is dyed... a Heteractis crispa... most often
called a "Sebae Anemone"> and he [local respected LFS
owner] said it stays small 4-6 inches, and likes a sand
bed." I have no particular stake, but it is a
beautiful thing, and if it is as represented, I think the rest of
the stock will soon find homes in local reefs. I jumped
to a conclusion about what it is, but I'm not an anemone expert
-- and you folks have been unfailingly accurate and helpful! Thank
you in advance, Matthew <Take a read on WWM re "Dyed
Anemones", the species listed... you'll see. Bob
