My new carpet

[Reefworkschris]

I keep them under t5's in about 12 inches of water. They have plenty of light and do great. Bluecarpet, they are far from white. They are a flourescent green that is beautiful, and not bleached at all. I am familiar with what a bleached coral/anemone looks like. Come by the store and check them out...see for yourself.

Well seth's looked to be very bleached at the meeting last month and this one looks to be very bleached as well. A flourescent green carpet should look like this, not like the one in this thread.

Recent pictures.

First put in tank pictures.

As you can see the two are very different.

Not sure but I didnt see anyone saying it was GREEN anem. there are other colors of carpets on the market..... http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=602 . Im not an anem expert but I know Ive seen lots of not so bright green anem under some bright lights in great conditions

 

[Reefworkschris]

Agreed. Anemones come in a huge variety of colors, most of which are still healty. Your's is not the only color available.

Brian the link you posted is still not a white looking anemone. From the picture of this anemone, it looks to be bleached and thats all iam saying. I may not be right all the time but in this case i believe i am right by saying that this anemone and the one seth got are bleached.

I have never seen a carpet this color before. I bought it from reefworks and it is gorgeous.

He is sticky and mounted himself within 3 inches of where I wanted him. This picture does him no justice either...he is more turqoise then that, almost like the turqoise on the 20000 leagues lokani!!!

From this picture it is clear to see this anemone is bleached. Its not that bad of a thing if the carpet is still sticky and eating, its not like it can not recover or anything but it just takes time for the carpet to color back up again.

The pic was meant to show that there are different color variations and by looking at a pic online there is no real way you can say an anem is bleached or not, what lighting, what was the color temp of the lighting, what was the white balance set on the camera. This guy showed a pic of his anem and said it was a great turqoise color and got nothing but flack, seems no one can believe that maybe every piece of livestock doesnt look like the one in their tank. Im done with this thread, yall have fun

These carpets are not bleached...they are a really cool aqua color and they are supposed to be.

No, the Haddoni in question is definately bleached. The Haddoni is not white but it's not far from it. I bought a bleached Haddoni that was brown in color. It was still very sticky but definately not completely healthy.

I bought this Haddoni carpet a while back very bleached.

When I first got it:

2 weeks later:

Obviously you can see the return of the pigmentation and zooxanthellae algae. Flasher1's Haddoni was just like mine when I bought it but slightly different color. If it is under good conditions, strong light and it is fed everyday or so, it should return to a green.

We are only trying whats best for the anemone and flasher. Me and 55semi know that the anemone is clearly bleached and just trying to help out thats all.

Its not helping when he never replied and said if it colored up! He posted that picture over 2 months ago, so you guys are just making assumptions.

Wait what? Who's "he?"

 

[cowboyswife]

Flasher.

 

[bluerug]

Oh maybe he has not read it yet.

I know I am beating the dead horse now but there is no doubt that the original picture flasher1 posted of his Haddoni is bleached. There is little/no pigmentation/zooxanthellae algae in the Haddoni thus it is bleached. Just look at the color of the anemone and compare it to that of the sand. The Haddoni has a subtle blue tint to it but its not far from being white. Most should know that cameras can cause anemones to look a bit more faded but this would have to be extreme if a camera caused a Haddoni to look that white.

It may have regained its color back, it may have not. It all depends on what flasher1's husbandry was toward his anemone. If it was under stable conditions, under strong lighting and he fed it on a constant regular basis than it should have colored up by now.

You guys can call the anemone "not bleached" but go ahead and post this in the "Anemones and Clownfish" forum and see what they say. All of them will practically tell you this anemone is bleached. The ORCA forum is apart of reefcentral so don't be afraid to post outside of this club. There's a lot more to discover in different forums than just this one. Lot more diversity and different levels of knowledge.

I am done with this thread so you guys have fun!
