Anemone ID

[ponokareefer]

Can anyone ID this anemone?

It is starting to split regularly in my system.

 

[C.Eymann]

Actinodendron plumosum maybe? Anemone ID is not my strong suit, but really reminded me of that.

Hells fire anemone

This only gets to about 12 inches before splitting, so not sure it is an Actinodendron plumosum.

Are there any other anemones that have those little clusters of arcospheres on their tentacles?
Hopefully more chime in and you get a positive ID, I'm curious as well, had a client that had one in his tank, dang those guys pack one heck of a sting.

Sorry, 3 inches, not 12.

Oh wow, 12" I could see it still being a hells fire, 3in is possibly a different story. The taxonomy is so similar to it though.

It's a Phymanthus buitendijki sometimes called a Borneman anemone or frilly anemone. It originates from the Indopacific.

Thank you.

Has anyone ever had them host clownfish?

No.
They will become a pest. Make sure you keep it in check. Very strong sting, nothing can stand a chance against it.

That's what i feared.

One or two is fine. If you let it go uncheck when it reach 10 or more you will start to hand problem. It is a beautiful anemone. I injected it full of Kalk and this does not kill it

Best way to remove one is to shade it with a smooth object. I use a small bowl. It will craw on to it to get higher out of the shade. Once it is on the bowl or cup I just peep them off and sell them to the LFS or flush it

 

[ponokareefer]

These are starting to spread like majano's, so I am in the process of removing them. I got rid of 2 them by piercing through them with my feeding tongs. The rest hid in their hole after being pierced. I'll maybe have to give the smooth object a try if they survived. I don't want to sell these as I don't want to spread a problem onto someone else.
