Again, thanks for the help!

Looks like H. crispa. The tentacles have become shorter than normal from lack of food.

I would say you have a H. malu (unbleached). Most of the time these come in bleached white (as "sebae" anemones, aka general name for an anemone no one can identify).

(Oh, oh... (after reading Phil's post) not another malu versus crispa thread )

I thought about saying malu as well. If the column is white and opaque then its H. crispa. If its tannish and translucent then I would go with H. malu.

I would like to pin down Daphne Fautin on this one time and see if she can ID anemones at a wholesalers.

I have an H.malu and it looks nothing like that. Those tentacles also look much smoother than a H.Malu.

Mine is tan without lights on/tanishgreen with PC's on. With my sabae clown.

I feel very comfortable in saying that your H. malu is actually H.aurora.

 

[818]

oops wrong pic :lol: Haha yes thats my Aurora!

 

[WDLV]

I'd like to see a closer shot of yours.
I believe mine is H.malu. Note that it has a dense population of tentacles but the tentacles on the fringes are longer than those toward the center. Sorry I don't have a better pic. It made it's way into the sequence CL about a week ago.

Whatever it might be, it seems to not like my lights (2x55w 10000K PC, 2x55w Actinic PC). I noticed the first few days it would perk up at night and shrivel down during the daylight cycle. Yesterday it moved from the center of my tank to a low light area under some rock formations. Could this be a hint as to its genus?

 

[WDLV]

Possibly. I've had E.Quads, H.malu, H.Crispa, and M.doreensis all seek shelter in the rock work. H. Mags have always wound up high on the glass.
Unfortunately, with exception to the ones I've sold back to pet stores before moves, they all either melt away or find a pump to get sucked into.
