[MIKE ALERS]

[macawmagic]

[MIKE ALERS]

thx macaw.

I don't think it's a carpet or a sebae. It looks like a speciese of bubble tip to me. About half way down this page on the right is a pretty close match.

[MIKE ALERS]

wow dugg you're the man.that looks real close.did you mertensi carpet that looks similar too.

 

[dugg]

In that first picture that mertensi does look like it has the larger bubbles, but if you click the link for them, none of the other pics look like that. I think that might just be a macro shot making the tenticles look bigger.

That is a real nice anemone whatever it is. Did you get it local?

 

[MIKE ALERS]

yeah it was local.i just hope it's not some extremely difficult to take care of type.
