scoots Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I found this in a hole of one of my live rocks. it only comes out when the lights are off and when i put the lights on it quickly sucks itself backinto its hole. its not vey large approx. 1inch from what i can see, clearish in color with some black spots around its head. wil try to get a better picture but its very quick and only gives a sec once the lights are placed on. thanks for your time.

SaltyDawg Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Cinachyra sp. Same family as an orange ball anemone but different color. all the same characteristics though. Link to comment
scoots Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 is that a good thing or bad thing? Just cycling the tank should i start to feed it, and if so what? thanks for your help.. Link to comment
ofblong Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 looks more like a zoa to me. Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Zo's dont only come out at night. If it is a ball anemone it will eat anything in its path it can fit into its mouth. Litteraly. Baby snails, small crabs ect ect. You wont be able to as it is VERY hard to get it to stay open with the lights on to feed it. I would just let is stay it course and see what happends if you want to keep it. Link to comment
