Yellow Sand Anemone??

[apuhl20]

Anyone know anything about this? It is listed as Yellow Sand Anemone (Gyrostoma helianthus)

Someone has to know something....

Got a picture??

 

[apuhl20]

no...its on a purchase list from a supplier and I'm thinking about getting it...

Email or call ibluewater. They sell them and have pics on their website.

The only thing I can find on Google under that name are pictures of yellow Heteractis malu.

 

[Barbelist]

Ditto the above....

 

[apuhl20]

yea..thats not the scientific name given though. I called the supplier, and they said it is bright yellow, not dyed and they get them in every once in a while and do well. Said they stay about 4-6 inches and look similar to a sebea. Looks like I may give it a try.

Maybe Stichodactyla helianthus (Caribbean Carpet Anemone)????

From what I could find on web.....

Species of dwarf anemone.....much like a miniature Entacmaea quadricolor......bubble formation under certain conditions.....sand based

Well that makes it sound pretty good. Thanks for the translation!

I'd ask for photos of the oral disc and the foot....might just help with positive ID?
