A few anemone questions

[smmscott]

Hello all. I have had my anemone now for 6 months. When I got it he was not doing so well, he came from a crashed tank and was about the size of a dime. Now he is quite large. I was told it was a Bubble tip. I hope someone can confirm this. Second question is I was looking at him and noticed a tentacle has a split in it. Is this a normal thing? Is it a bad thing? If it is bad is it caused by stress or something else? Thanks for helping and looking.

cant confirm its species. but I have a green with pink tip bubble tip nem, and its been splitting tenicles. One had a 3 way split that came to one at the top. a few others had developed 2 pink tips and one tenicle. and this one crazy tenicle has a second tenicle jutting right out the side of it. crazy looking.

its as healthy as its always been and nothing had changed, so it must be ok

heres a double tip. it eventually split

That coloration looks similar to mine. I just can't get a good picture of it and its color,

does it have its foot stuck in the rocks, or the sand?

either way, i love that marbled effect it has. those are so sweet

Mine has it's foot stuck in the rocks. Put it in one spot and it stayed and hasn't moved at all.

It is a BTA. Some call that color variety "neon", with the white flecks in the tentacles.
Splitting of tentacles is normal and it looks very healthy.

Thanks Phil, I wasn't ready for him when I got him but I did alot of reading and I have been very happy with him. Now if I can get the clowns to host I will be a very happy guy. Thanks for the ID.

A BTA, I believe they are what is called the "marble" variety.
