Anenome

[JustDeni]

I bought this anenome a little while ago and the sales person didn't know what type of amenome it is. I am new at this (just set up a 125 gallon tank) and would like to know a little more about it and what the best enviornment, food etc. is.

Thanks,

Deni

I believe it is a Heteractis aurora
Common name: aurora anemone, beaded anemone


I will have to look at my book when I get home on what to feed, but most likely only Clarkie's will host in it.

Thank You. I looked all over on the net but, without the proper name, everything I found pictures of didn't look like this one. The closest I found was a bubble anemone and it wasn't quite right. I guess I should go get a few books. Any you recommend?

Thanks Again

I have a few books at home, but really only rely on one so far. You can find it here...

I need to get some others, but so far this one has helped us a lot!

more similar looking types

Anemones can change shapes drastically as well as color. So keep that in mind when you are looking at pics.
