Same anemone today.

 

[phender]

Interesting that all the tips are curled like a LTA.

 

[OrionN]

That anemone look like LTA to me also

 

[taylor t]

wow! I never even thought that. Let me take and upload a few pics on a different thread. Tell me if you still think LTA please!

 

[Preyou]

i'll play

 

[VeriasCurat]

I'm going to play too but mine isn't near as impressive. It was an unexpected surprise from my significant other and I'm learning how to care for it...im nervous because it hasnt attached yet and has fat stubby tentacles...

 

[ThRoewer]

That's not a H. crispa.
If it is a host anemone at all it may be a H. malu and for those short stubby tentacles are normal.

 

[ThRoewer]

Actually, after some research I would say it could be a Heteractis aurora.

Also it would be nice to resize the pictures so they can be viewed in a browser without scrolling.

I tried editing the post but I don't see the button I'm sorry about that! now that I have a firm species I can cafe a little better for it. Everyone was telling me either malu or the other one....I forget at the moment. Knowing it's an aurora I placed it on the sand near my rocks where it's getting flow over the top of it but not direct.

the short fat tentacles are normal for an h. Aurora? Will that elongate or not this species? Doing research on them it seems they are more of a nursery anemone.

my anemones,

my anemones,

can you find the H Malu? Saved it from a local lfs, it was well bleached, slowing coming back. same as the large BTA

With diameters of 250 mm they stay relatively small, like malus. Tentacles get up to 50 mm long.

If it doesn't attach turn it around and have a look at its foot. At least with malus I found that they are easily injured at the pedal disk (often you see mesenteries coming out) and then won't attach. They may look healthy from above but at the foot an infection may be festering that eventually will kill it.

I'm pretty sure their is no h. Malu in your picture.

 

[kwsjimmy]

Bottom right corner, still a bit bleaved from the lfs,

 

[kwsjimmy]

I'll post a better pic of it

 

[ThRoewer]

I see it - it has kind of the color of the rock behind it.
