Recommended Posts

I think ive narrowed it down to two types of things. Carpet anemone or ricordea. He is light blue with bell shaped (short) tentacles and when i touch him he sticks very heavily and has even taken skin away from my finger. His diameter is about 2in. I'll try to do a picture im still new so bare with me. Welll i couldnt figure it out anyone willing to help please do.

umm... upload to photobucket and just press IMG code underneath the picture after its done loading :) or you can just attatch the file. ;)

 

EDIT: from the stickyness, it sounds like a mini carpet... but i wanna see a picture

It's probably a nem if it is that sticky. I've never had a sticky ric, especially if it takes flesh. Very unusual.

 

Picture looks like ric, but need more closeup with mouth to make sure.

yeah i know about the picture. I really don't have the camera to do the closeups. But the mouth is a pinkish color in the inside and a light purple no yet pink on the outside if that helps.

does anyone have a really good picture of a ricordea like mine so maybe i could compare. Please and Thank you all for the help.

 

I almost forgot. When I feed him he can grab a hold and move the food towards the mouth. And one question could to much calcium cause the corals to start looking bad?

By the pic, it looks like a ric, but by your description, it sounds like an anemone. (well, rics ARE anemones, but you know what I mean)

Looks like Ricordea ... mini carpet can move around too ... rics usually don't but the pic really looks like a ricordea.

It doesn't look like the pictures fishy freak got. The thing would not move anywhere but in high light otherwise he would fall and move somewhere else and the picture i have doesn't accurately describe him because its really bad. I'll try to get a better one tho. Thank you for all the help
