texreef Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I am not sure what type of Anemone this is. I was told it was a "Bubble Type Aiptasia" though I have not heard of such a thing. It is small (about an inch tall when stretching and has a disk of about 1/4 inch. The body is brown/green (really green under actinic light) and the disk is orange around the tentacles and it has a little green mouth hole. It will eat a passing brine shrimp, it will also eat a small piece of shell fish (what I feed the bubble tip I have in there), if I drop the piece into it's little tentacles. It came on a piece of rock I bought that had a green polyp colony on it. It moves a little bit to get a better view of the lights but to the best of my knowledge it has made no attempt to reproduce. Oh, and the peppermint shrimp and red leg hermit I have in there show no interest in it though they have climbed over it hundreds of times. It is pictured below. I left my little buddy "Louie" (my Gobiodon Okinawae / Yellow Clown Goby), for scale reference. Any ideas? BTW this site and you guys are totally awesome! Link to comment
