the foot is orange

Yep it's a condy and it is bleached. If it gets helthy it will be tan/brown in color.

 

[oimbert]

ok thanks, any advice on getting it helthy?

 

[wicked_NaCl_h2o]

Good light and feeding it.

 

[Ebmorri]

Feed it pieces of silversides every other day or so. Also watch out as they are a bit more aggressive and have been know to eat allot of peoples fish. If you are a planning to have them host a clown it most likely not happen since they are from the Atlantic ocean and the Caribbean and no clowns fish are there. Also read the Anemones FAQ in this forum.

There are clowns that will accept a condy as a host though. Maroons, tomatoes and Clarkiis like condy anemones.

Whats great about condys is that once they get healthy they will change color. My freind has about 20 and he has four different colors. tan, purple, pink, white and they all have colored tips which are purple and one of his whites have green tips.

If you do like the looks of that I would buy a sebae nem.

I have a purple condy, and he's fantastic...good eater...nice and healthy...all of my fish stay away from him, but the shrimp, well, that's another story...thankfully I keep him fed, as those shrimp are quite daring!
