supernip Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I picked up this nice looking anemone and have no idea what it is. I don't think it's a BTA however, as I've never seen one in that color and the tips are bulbed even when deflated Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gracias Link to comment
hollister_08 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 How the tentacles look, it kinda looks like some type of carpet! But you really cant tell cause it isnt open! Link to comment
supernip Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 It kinda does have that carpet look in the tentacles, but its definitely not one. The tentacles aren't numerous enough and the anemone is the wrong shape, with the whole column. =/ It's actually more BTAish. Im debating whether to call the Prolapsed a anemone or the a kiss of death anemone it sort of reminds me of Audrey, from little petshop of horror, as well Link to comment

But then again cant really tell since it isnt opened up that much, maybe you could post another pic when i opens up more? Link to comment

formerly icyuodd/icyoud2 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 does it ever close right up into a ball of bubbles? Link to comment
The Propagator Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Get a pic of it after it has setteled in a week or two from now, and I bet it looks completely different. Will probably be ALOT easier to ID as well. Link to comment

AWWW JEEZ Corynactis spp. are mainly temperate species, known as Strawberry anemones. They are small, not usually larger than one inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, and colonial, reproducing by fission and pedal laceration to cover large areas of rocks. Tropical species may occasionally be introduced to aquariums with live rock. The tropical species are less colorful, tend to be cryptic, and form much less densely packed colonies. All Corynactis spp. feed on zooplankton and particulate organic matter. To keep them healthy and encourage division, they need to be fed at least several times per week. A "milkshake" of chopped seafood can be used, but they will also take flake or pelletized foods, and frozen shrimp or worms. Link to comment
The Propagator Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Definately not a corynactis. They have clear bodies. Unless thats an adult ? Link to comment
