Anemone I.D. please. :)

[koiyle]

Can anyone help me I.D. this anemone please? I'm planning to create an anemone tank and perhaps add a pair of clownfish. The tank is a 20Gallon Long one.

This has been in the tank for about 7 months now. It used to host an Ocellaris Clownfish, but sadly she (the clownfish) died a month ago. I've been feeding the nem with shrimp meat once a week ever since the clownfish's death.

Personal description: It kinda looks like a bubble tip, but then it's long and white :|

Thanks in Advance!

It does look like a bleach BTA. I had a tank crash on me once, and my little BTA I had looked exactly like this afterward. I brought it back with a lot of TLC.

Whatever it is, its definately bleached. I would venture as maybe LTA as well. It looks like it is attached well though.

It's not LTA. Looks like very bleached BTA to me.

thanks for the replies. have a question though.
i have a 35 x 9 x 9.5" tank, and my lighting is housed in a DIY cover. the bulbs are a SERA diazblue 18 watt deep sea and a 21 watt T5 6500k daylight. is that enough for an anemone tank? im not very good with lighting so please take it easy on me very willing to learn and replace as needed thanks!

 

[koiyle]

btw, i should note that i bought the nem in that color, which i thought was cool back then. but i guess it's not. so now im so curious to discover what its real color is!

With a tank that shallow, those lights may actually work. Do you have good reflectors on the bulbs?

the lfs told me to spray-paint the interior cover with silver spray paint. that has been it. should i change that?

 

[Cheebs]

I'm not pro on lighting but silver spray paint doesn't seem like much of a reflector to me... maybe someone else can chime in here.

If they routinely give this quality of advice, run away far and fast!:lolspin:You need a quality reflector, and silver spray paint is not going to reflect much at all. To our eyes it may seem bright, but in terms of PAR, it's next to zero. Search for T5 reflectors, and you'll get to the right place.

thanks for the response.
@blues will do!
