My first anemone!

Got this from a friend last week. My GSM Clown took to it within an hour.



After moving to a new spot



This anemone has a different coloration than any other gbta I have ever seen. And the tentacles do not have very pronounced bulbs. Anyone know why?

Some BTA just dont have bulbs or maybe not enough lights. Nice clown by the way.

I would definitely watch the Maroon. They have been known to kill anemones from being too rough on them.

Especially since your anemone is so small compared to the maroon. You should usually get an anemone thats diameter is 2-3x the length of the clownfish.

The bulbs are unkown as to what causes them. I would not really use them as an indicator of health.

Looks cool!

The clown really dwarfs it though.

mine looks exactly like it but is alot bigger than that. feed it more often it'll start to grow thats what im doing and its growing pretty quick and the bubbles are becoming more and more pronounced each day.

the white specs in it are wicked especially once it gets bigger and the bubbles come out more. feed it small bits everyday and it'll grow...
