treborzelev Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 aptasia are more stringy, wiry lookin' so I don't see any. Well thats what i mean (plus my peppermint would eat them)...what are these worm like feeders... Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I don't know, never had one of those. I have had little ball tip anemones, they have a little dot at the end of each tentacle. I don't believe I see them in your pic. Link to comment
River_styx Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Peppermint shrimp aren't guaranteed to eat aiptasia. You can try cutting back feedings to help make them more inclined to do so. Link to comment
hypostatic Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Looks like majano anemone. Those guys do not look like members of the anemonia genus that I've seen. Majanos are not transparent like that. To me those first guys look more like Curlique Anemones Link to comment
treborzelev Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Peppermint shrimp aren't guaranteed to eat aiptasia. You can try cutting back feedings to help make them more inclined to do so. Well I didnt have a chance to cut back my feedings, I think the peppermint may have been attacked while molting...any other recommendations to replace a peppermint shrimp? Although the one i had did in fact eat aptasia and maybe a few other things while he was at it. Those guys do not look like members of the anemonia genus that I've seen. Majanos are not transparent like that. To me those first guys look more like Curlique Anemones very interesting! thanks im still researching but havent really found an exact match. Another one! What the H are these three worm things pictured? (Thanks for all the help!) Link to comment
