Hitchhiker Anenome

[madkat]

This dude came in on a rock that I have. The base is about the size of a half dollar. Thick and opaque like a rose or similar.

Any ideas?

looks like a small beaded anemone can you post some more pics?

 

[madkat]

I will take some more this evening.

Nice looking hitchhiker. Still to early to tell for sure. More pic's in a day or two will help.

Heteractis Malu sometimes has striped tentacles too.

Guys here is a shot tonight, he is staring to get more color.

I have a new lens coming in tomorrow, will try to get some good closeups

Ok, definitely not H. Malu, and not H. Aurora (beaded anemone) either. Looking at the tips of the tentacles, maybe some species of Corynactis? Whatever it is, it looks awesomes!

He eats mysis like its candy, I am leaving him out of my display until I find more out about him.

Sorry no idea what it is, just wanted to say it's very pretty.

This is quoted from another thread. I think he is right.

Telmatactis americana ?

aka "club tipped anemone"

Wild guess though, they seem rather rare. It is very pretty now its colors are coming out!

 

[bradleym]

I agree! That is a pretty good guess.
