Anemone ID, E. quadricolor, Bubble Tipped
Anemone, BTA- 06/15/08 Hi, <Hello Kirsty, Brenda here! >
I hope you are well. <Thank you! > It's been a while
since I have been in touch and am needing an ID from you if
it's ok to ask. <It sure is! > I've had this nem for
some months now and "she", (aka "Her Majesty"),
has grown considerably since I first got her, (due to this I am
arranging an upgrade!). Could you help confirm an ID? I've had
many a suggestion from other reefers but thought I'd ask my
friends at WWM! <It appears to be an E. quadricolor, also known
as a Bubble Tipped Anemone (BTA). > If you need any other
angles, please let me know! <Nope! You have provided plenty of
great shots! > Thanks in advance,
Kirsty
<You're welcome! Brenda > |

Re: Ritteri anemone help 06/14/08
Hi again, Shea here just writing you back with the description of my
anemone. It is white with light green tips and a white base. It's
kind of in a flower shape. Hope this info helps. Thanks, Shea <Mmm,
nope... Stop writing. Read here: http://wetwebmedia.com/ the marine

ID.... Aiptasia? 6/9/08 Found this guy
on a new piece of rock that I received.. It -appears- to be the
only one. <Yay!> I read through all the anemone FAQs and
the closest seems to be aiptasia, but the coloring is different
and the tentacles seem kind of rigid. <Does look like an
aiptasia to me.> Wanted to check with you guys for an ID
before pulling the rock and scrubbing it. <I would
remove.>
Thanks,
Richard
<Welcome, Mich>

No one knows what this is!!! 6/6/08 First off, I would
like to thank you very much for the time the crew puts into this
very demanding web site. It has been so very useful in my new hobby
and the information I have gotten has been very invaluable. I have
an anemone in my 120 gallon FOWLR tank that no one seems to know
what the heck it is. <Hmm... looks familiar, didn't you
write in with this a few weeks ago?> I know one thing about
it'¦.it will eat ANYTHING'¦lol. I am not sure
where I got it but it is over 8 years old now and shows no signs of
slowing down and has survived a couple of total fatal crashes in
the tank. At rest it is 2 inches in diameter at the mouth and the
trunk is usually a couple of inches long, but when it wants
to feed it stretches to 3-4 inches and can go longer and the mouth
area will swell to approx. 3-4 inches in diameter. I feed it
silversides but it has been known to eat any fish that gets close.
In one week I lost two powder blue tangs, a cleaner shrimp and
assorted other critters, I know this because it regurgitated the
mess after it was done with it. Anyway, I would at least like to
know what species this is so I can point 'Hannibal' out to
people when they ask. Thanks for any help you can give. My e-mail
is ********@aol.com. <As said before, it looks like a rock or
flower anemone, but I'm not sure. Anemones can be difficult to
ID. Please look through the anemone ID FAQs pages:

05/30/2008 Just bought a piece of live rock today
with button polyps. There is the one little critter
also on it, I am not sure of. Is it an Aiptasia anemone? It
is the only one that is on the rock. I do have 2 peppermint
shrimp in my 30 gallon tank. <<Aiptasia it is. Please
do read more in the following link, including links, articles
and FAQ's

Sara M BTA ID 5/16/08 Here is
the photo of my little BTA. I feed him right after taking the photo
and he got really bulbous. Sorry about the grain, I had to take the
photo on a high ASA due to lighting, so let me know. <Ok, it
does look like a small BTA (though these animals are often
difficult to ID). If it's reacting well to feeding, I'd
suggest that you just keep up the feeding. The clown fish might
actually be stressing it out a little.> Now do Maroon's host
Majano Anemone's? <Well, I don't think this is a Majano
anymore. But in any case, a clown can host in just about
anything...> Because this little guy has a Maroon that hosts
him. Thanks Again for the wonderful information <Best advice I
can give you is to just keep up the feeding and water quality and
just have patience. Anemones can be finicky creatures.> Spencer
Hall

| Re: Sara M BTA ID
5/19/08 Thank you Sara for that great information. I
actually put the little Maroon in the large tank with the Anemone
this weekend, and they seem to be in love. The Anemone is about
2x's the size of the Maroon so I don't think he is
bothering him too much, but I will tell you that the BTA got his
bubble tips back. <ah, good> Also, the Maroon feeds him. I
didn't think that that would happen so quickly. I feel
confident that I can place a Raccoon Butterfly in the tank and the
Maroon will protect the Anemone. I already see the Maroon chase
away the little Green Chromis when he gets near the BTA. It is
really enjoyable to watch the relationship those two animal have.
<It is! Congrats on finding a happy pair.> Some times the
Maroon seems to get a little aggressive with the Anemone but the
BTA seems to like it. The Picture I sent you was before the Maroon
was introduced, and now he looks completely different. He stands
taller now and seems to bulb a bit at the base. The little Maroon
likes to swim around the base of the Anemone holding his tail on
the outside of the base as well. Thanks again for all your help.

| Anemone ID, Macrodactyla doreensis,
LTA 5/12/08 Hi! <Hello, Brenda here!> Can you
ID this anemone for me please? (see joined piece) <Sure can!>
A reefer of my area bought it but I really don't know what kind
it is...Regards. <It is a Macrodactyla doreensis, commonly
referred to as a Long Tentacle Anemone, or LTA. From the picture it
appears as if this anemone is in the beginning stages of
starvation. It needs to be fed small portions of meaty foods. More
information regarding this animal found here:
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/macrodoreensis.htm Hope this helps!
