anemone? hitchhiker pic ID please

[caneelbay89]

It does eat using its tenacles. It has moved a couple times. I have two - one at top of tank one at bottom. Stalk is brown with white dots. The tenacles are rather jagged and thick. Not like a feather duster. Does retract inside itself. White mouth with green going to brown.

Good/Bad/Harmful? Thank you!

looks like an inverted blue ring octopus!!! dont touch it!!!! ...


kidding.. i have no idea =)

 

[caneelbay89]

Anyone?

I would say some type of rock or flower anemone. shouldn't be too bad, but if it starts splitting, it can get out of control. I've noticed that most hitchhiker anems are not good for the tank...just my opinion.

You said it retracts inside itself - is there a calcium base?

 

[caneelbay89]

No it is not calcium based. It retracts or maybe collapses into the stalk when it is messed with.

Okay. I've been hanging out in the LPS section a little more than usual and it almost looked duncan like, but it would have a calcium base if it was.
Sorry, I couldn't be helpful!
