what Anemone type

[sharynmarie]

I got this from a relative. it was climbing to get higher to get to the light when she had it and was stinging things and she got mad and was gonna just throw it out. so I took him into my tank. have had him a while and he is still in the spot I put him happy as can be and getting bigger. but.. what type is it. she said bubbletip. but it looks more like a Sebae.

Do you realize there is no pic posted?

 

[sharynmarie]

I sware I posted a pic.. Dang I am a airhead. *sighs*

 

[garygb]

lol. Much better, but could you take a pic of the column now? It's not a sebae (H. crispa), but looks more like a BTA (Entacmea quadricolor). There is an outside chance it is condylactis, but I don't think so, a pic of the column should remove any doubts.

Looks like a bubble tip.

 

[sharynmarie]

I could be wrong. but looks like a healthy LTA Condy?

 

[garygb]

I'm with coker.

 

[SuperNerd]

Tis a BTA IMO.

Since you just put it in the tank, it might take your clowns a while (even weeks or months) to find the anemone. BTA's are a good host anemone and naturally found with 12 or 13 species of clownfish. Even clowns that aren't natural symbionts such as ocellaris and percula often take up residence in BTA's. What species of clownfish do you have?

 

[sharynmarie]

I believe they are one ocellaris and one percula
