Anemone ID

[cristhiam]

Hi, I rescued this anemone a few months ago from a LFS, it was dying and shrunk to about 1"-1.5", I think it looks lit LTA but not sure, it seems happy and getting bigger
Thank you

I was going to say some times the tips gets like a bta. I have it for about 3+ months and I feed it maybe couple of times a month.

Looks like a BTA to me too.

5 months later note the clam is 11+/- inches
LTA?

That is definitely not an lta...An lta would rather be in the sand...this is a picture of my purple lta..




yours looks like a bta but I don't know how your bta is not bothering the clam. Interesting its like they are buddies.

Actually 7 months attached to the clam. That clam doesnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t get bothered by anything, when I move it around doesnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t even blink a bit.

Nope, E. quad(BTA).

BTAs have a fairly mild sting and clams seem to be quite tolerant of them in my tanks as well.

That's one awesome place for it to park.

Man that thing grew since. Congratulations with it.

Thanks, it's a good thing it hasn't moved (yet) I had a RBTA that will not stop moving and it killed some sps's, I had to sell that one.

I target feed this one once in a while, but pretty much eats what the fish eat or lands on it.
