Carpet Id please.

[a.stebel]

I just got a yellow carpet and I am hoping someone could tell me what type it is. Here is a picture.

Appears to be a bleached haddoni, but it's hard to tell without seeing column.

Looks like a bleached Green S. Haddoni.

+1..bleached haddoni, it should be green but it should come back with proper care

 

[reppo13]

It's either a bleached haddoni or a deeper collected haddoni meaning that it might be healthy now and that color is from the depth in which it was collected. Is it sticky or not, that will really determine whether or not its bleached. Does it have sorta bubbly tips because if not it might be a deeper collected gigantea.

Last time I checked any anemone with a lack of zooxanthellae is somewhat bleached...

Yes your right, but in some cases thats as much zooxanthellae that the anemone will get or will ever have hense the deep water collection. This is why you see some neon yellow giganteas or light blue giganteas. One of my buddies has had a neon yellow one for over 6 years and it hasn't changed one bit. Its thriving under mh's.

That's interesting, I've never heard of that before.

He is very sticky. Took to rooting in the sand bed immediately, once introduced. It does have bubble tips.

That doesn't make sense to me. Typically, corals and anemones form deeper/more shaded environments will have more zooxanthellae. The amount of energy that any one zooxanthellae can produce is dependant on the amount of light it receives. In deeper water, the amount of light it receives will be reduced. This means that the host would need to harbor more zooxanthellae in deeper water, in order to obtain the same amount of energy it could acquire with fewer zooxanthellae near the surface. If it was in deeper water, and had fewer zooxanthellae, its ability to acquire vital nutrition would be greatly restricted. Odds of survival for such a haddoni would be very slim IMHO.

This makes much more sense to me IMHO.

I have to agree. Was trying to think of a way to say the above that would make sense in my current state of mind and I couldn't.

I dont think any of us are in the right state of mind doing what were doing. But I would have to give a thumbs up for what EC had to say. When they are deeper then need that extra to make up for the amount of light that they are getting.

I was referring to all the pain meds I am on. (( back surgery )). Still having a hard time getting proper thoughts out.

I did not know Todd. I hope that all turns out well for you I know I have been under the knife more than my fair share.

100% agree

If he is bleached, how long before he shows his true color? Assuming he is getting healthy with my care.
