Identification on my new Anemone

[JustaG0ldfish]

Hey Everybody,

This is my first post! I've recently jumped into the world of Saltwater Tanks. I LOVE IT! So here is my new Anemone. I'm not sure what kind it is. My LFS told me when I bought it but I must of misplaced it in my brain.

Here it is.

Welcome to RC!

Excellent! Thank you very much deangelr.

Is the base/foot red or orange in color? If it's tan or white, it might be a H. Crispa.

That is a awesome nem. You are very lucky to get something that nice. I would pay big money for a nem like that.

Here is a better picture of the Base. It's definitely whitish. gcsoupman it is absolutely amazing. I only paid $45 for it. I feel super lucky to have it. I just hope my clowns get interested in it. It will be like a forest for them.

Welcome!!!!! nice nem!

Yea looks like Heteractis Crispa. The LFS may have called it a Sebae anemone.

They don't ship too well, so getting one that pretty isn't too common. Congrats!

Yeah, the first pics look like H. crispa and the column pics confirm it.

I believe you're correct. I have another one for Reef Central. I've had this guy for over a year. Sadly he is not Clown friendly. I still don't know what kind this is!

The first picture is when I first got it. Now it's a beast! :thumbsup:

My vote is Condylactis(sp?) but regardless, way to go on growing it up!

Yep. Condylactis. I think these are very cool anemones, even though they aren't hosts to clownfish.

Thanks! =]

Its a monster now. It sometimes tries to pull in my Cleaner Shrimp for Lunch.

How's the crispa doing?

 

[JustaG0ldfish]

Doing Great! It wouldn't eat for a couple weeks, but now its all about pieces of Krill. Plus my Clowns has finally decided to host it. It took 20 days for them to warm up too it. I'm messing with Imovies on my Iphone. I'll send it to my youtube so you can see for yourself!
