I figured it was this, i think it is a malu, at least thats what they told me.

I am pretty sure its not a condi though with the price that i paid.

 

[bluerug]

Happy new year to you as well.

 

[gemini aquarius(t)]

i say condi

Can you get a better pic?

Fuzzy pic looks like a condy to me to.

Check out liveaquaria and see if it looks like any of those anemones. Also meerwasser.

 

[bluerug]

Some more pics, seems to being going really brown and bright purple tips.

IMHO...that looks more like a condy but check some of these out:

Well if it is i am not very happy at all.:mad2:

I paid good money for this anemone, i cant believe it.

Check out the link I posted. It has also has a pic of a LTA (Macrodactyla doreensis) there as well. It doesn't look like a LTA seen in the trade.

 

[bluerug]

I am hoping it is a LTA, the malu kind, i guess we will see in a few hours because it seems to be going darker and darker with nice purple tips. Not to mention my clowns are kind of going in and out of it. It has allready burried its foot in the sand, so who knows.

I think "malu" is sebae.

 

[bluerug]

I hope it starts to turn into this.

If it is a condy, should i keep it?

 

[raoul]

The price doesn't always reflect what the nem actually is. The price reflects what the LFS is calling it and probably what they paid for it.

I think the tentacles are too long to be malu, and I don't think they have a red foot either.

Condies, on the other hand, do have a red foot, and these tentacles look very much like a condy anemone.

Congrats btw, for helping it begin to regain its zooxanthellae.

 

[SuperNerd]

Yeah. Unfortunately, at least IMO, that is a condy. Not a clown hoster.

Another type of condy:
