ID Anemone

[bjavi84]

Can anyone ID this anemone? I thought it was a Purple Tip Sebae but not so sure now after seeing it open up more. Would appreciate it, thanks.

H. malu would be my guess

I bought it thinking my oscellaris would host it as they have been trying to host my hammer coral and it's getting beat up. Been reading they like Clark's clownfish or maroon clownfish though.

Not a sebae.

I cannot tell from the picture of those are rings or "beading around the tentacles.

If those are beads, and its column is an orange/yellow/cram color - its an H.aurora.

If not...its a malu,

Those are rings

column color?

The rings on the tentacles are positive ID characteristic of a H. malu. Not all Malu have them, but if if the anemone have them, it's a Malu.

It has a white column. This is my first anemone, so Im not too familiar with them. Is it normal for him to get his column under a rock? Anyone know if they can host oscillaris clownfish?

They do not host ocellaris clowns in the wild, but in captivity they may take to them in time.

Here is my Malu host a Onyx Percula and Snowflake Ocellaris

Know how long it takes for them to get used to the aquarium?
