coolwaves Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hey, dshnarw... A reader of this month's coldwater article in advancedaquarist.com questioned (in the comment section) the identification of the stripey anemone (image #22, I think) as A. equina. Was I wrong-- was this the name the retailer used? Thanks... Link to comment

Was I wrong-- was this the name the retailer used? Thanks... Hey Ken, I presume... Drs. Foster & Smith labeled it as A. equina, and I had stuck to that. Based on the verrucae, I doubt it's the correct naming, and is more likely one of the Phym- species (Phymactis, Phymanthea). I assume it came in with the DFS shipment of equina from Africa as I also got a definite A. equina at the same time, but nailing down an exact species has eluded me. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I knew someone would have to challenge at least one ID. Finding the location of origin will hopefully eliminate some choices. Link to comment

dshnarw Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Beadlet brooding again: For size ref, half a tic tac is about the right size. Anyone know if they only make one baby at a time, or do I just need to feed more? Link to comment

Congrats on the TOTM. lol...now I just need to figure out how to get it to spit them out faster... you should have seen all the algae I pulled out of that thing for the TOTM shoot. I had a piece of hair algae a foot long in there. Thanks Lani Wow, Daniel posted! Nice to hear from ya D!

Jacobnano Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Tank looks great! Congrats on getting TOTM! I need to get some more nems so I can compete with yours haha Link to comment

Jamie Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Baby nem is cute. Happy new year - I'm so happy to see this thread back! And also - I've been having algae problems too. I've left the lights off for the past two months, which has fixed the problem, but makes it difficult to see my fish. I think I'll start back up with a 2 hour photoperiod and see how it goes.

Not much to talk about with this thing...except for the baby and some algae, not much has changed. Did yours ever decide to brood? I'm trying to figure out what exactly I'm doing (or not doing) that's causing them to actually put the effort in, but not a lot of info out there about what gets them to do it. At this point, I think it's time to add a skimmer to the system...just too much food, even though I don't feed nearly as much as maybe Weast would suggest. Link to comment
Jamie Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Mine has never made babies, but it's soo much happier ever since I stopped lighting the tank. Yeah - skimmer is probably a good idea. I've resorted to feeding every other day! My anemones hate me. Link to comment

My anemones hate me. yeah, my tank only gets indirect light from the sun and then light from the floor lamp at night. everything opens up better with minimal light. i dunno about the other species, but the beadlets don't seem to mind less frequent feeding much, except that they open up longer with more food.

Jamie Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Yeah, the strawberries seem fine with it too, but they don't grow at all. I guess it's enough to sustain them, but not enough for them to reproduce. Link to comment

I guess it's enough to sustain them, but not enough for them to reproduce. Yeah, I haven't seen much growth in mine either with reduced feedings. I do find them in new places though. They're pretty well established all over the tank as single polyps or small groups, just need to find a way to get them to grow faster. Same problem with the beadlet babies...they live, but they grow REALLY slowly. The oldest one is hardly the size of a strawberry now. Link to comment
