Anything to worry about?

[howser]

All - I just inherited some new species without much background on them. This one has been of concern. It has these red strings that are coming up from it. Is that anything I should be concerned about? I places it higher in the thank is medium/low flow. It's under T5 lighting.

Thanks

that's a Bubble Coral, not an anemone...the strings coming off of it may be it's expelling waste...these type of corals (LPS) will send out "sweeper" tenticles at night and will sting any other corals within it's reach...
they are aggressive and prefer low/medium flow and medium lighting...

Green Bubble Coral?

I have always had trouble with these corals and cannot keep them alive . When I first started in this hobby I had good results with a pearl type of bubble Coral and I cannot find them anymore...Good Luck!!!:spin1:
