Pics of your favorite Anemone

[Dlckwood]

I just like anemones so much I wanted to see what everybody elses anemones look like. Heres my Rose BTA.

[Dlckwood]

Heres a little more closed.

[Dlckwood]

heres a pic of my favorite tank. He is one lucky man to have it.

[SurferStevo]

I liked this guy but I think my clowns got a bit too violent with him! Also they wold really bug when it came to feeding time, plunging head first to try to dig out any food that the anemone had swallowed.

[Dlckwood]

Cool looking anemone. I like the colors it has Pink with green tips. Very cool.
DAL:p

[SurferStevo]

Sadly, it is no longer! I have given up on those guys - but, maybe it would be okay now that the clowns have jumped out?
Nah, never mind I'm finished with anemones.

[Dlckwood]

Sorry to hear about your clowns but BTA's are really cool looking in your tank. I sure thought that I was going to get more posts in here.

My "Premium Marbled BTA"

Here's my 12+ inch Rose:

[Dlckwood]

Do the tips ever get inflated on that rose anemone. It already looks really cool but I would love to see it inflated.
DAL:p

[Marco]

Purple LTA and male True Perc.

[Marine-mania]

It does inflate its tentacles from time to time, I've tried to figure out a pattern to when/why, but it is seemingly random. It is a voracious eater, quickly devouring whatever I direct feed it, which is usually lance fish or Silversides about 3 times a month. I also feed the tank Forumula 1 or 2 nightly, and the Rose grabs a fair bit of that readily. I've had it for about 14 months now, was ~4-5 inches across when I put it in the tank, it is now easily over 12 inches across, hard to get an exact measurment. No splits though.

[johara]

Here's a pic of my LTA. Then I'll post a closeup of the GSM clown eggs on the rock behind the anemone. I'm very new to this digital photography thing, seems like the quality gets pretty bad when you reformat to meet the posting requirements, but maybe I just need to learn more about aquatic photographpy! Sorry about the glass glare. I also don't know how to post two pics in one reply - can anyone help me out?

Johara

[johara]

Here's the egg closeup. Pretty blurry but you can (I hope) kind of see the silvery eggs at the edge of the anemone.

[Dlckwood]

Wow, That LTA is pretty big. What do you feed that thing.

BTA and Gold Banded Maroon Clown

[johara]

Dickwood,

Actually I rarely feed it anything directly, but the clownfish feed it every day. They usually manage to drag it a cube or two of Formula One or Two before the fish get to have any:) . It's about 18" diameter when fully expanded. Has anyone heard of these things splitting like bubbles do? Recently it's been contracting it's foot in a way that looks like it's "thinking" about splitting. I think it's just random, but wondered if anyone had heard of that happening.

Johara

[Dlckwood]

WOW, two whole cubes of formula One/Two. You must have a pretty big tank because that is a lot of food.
DAL:p

[JonK]

Here is a pic of my Bubble Tips. There are 6 total but it's hard to tell where one starts and the other ends. They are home to a pair of tomato clowns which have just recently started spawning.

Jon

[johara]

It's a 155 bowfront. I've been amazed at how much food I can feed the tank without any nitrate bump or algae problem and without a skimmer. Makes me feel bad for the fish I must have been keeping pretty hungry over the years.

Buff, I have the same anenome. When i bought it, it was labled as a purple violet lta. They are nice and yours should get deeper purple if im not mistaken.

[Dlckwood]

Buff, thanks for sharing, cool anemone. I would have to say I,ve never seen one of those.
sajon1. That is a very cool anemone. Is there any place in particular you got that because it is very neat. I like how close the tenticles are to each other.
DAL:p

[sajon1]

Thank you Dlckwood. Well i i'm from the Canary Islands and my reef is a second hand, two year old tank. And i think his old reefer bought it from Spain :D .

hey sajon,
how is the weather in Feb? Is it too cold for swimming in the ocean?

[sajon1]

JEJEJE, well i can say that it is practically summer/spring all year. I've been down south today and the beaches were full of people :D , the water maintains a good tempeture for swimming.

Here's a picture of my LTA and my tomato clown. My tomato clown is a little over 1" big, so you can imagine that my LTA might be the impetus for a bigger tank.

BTW, does anyone know what color this is?

I'll follow up with a pic of my carpet.

Yes, those are very nice! I really like the red ones. Cquarium has ones like those from time to time. But I just can't justify paying 250-300 dollars plus shipping. Though I have been tempted but their always sold before I see them.:eek2:

[Addicted Reefer]

BonsaiNut

Are those all carpets? I see why you want them they are really good colors. The only thing that worries me is i want to keep madarins and such so i don't know if thats a good idea since they can eat tangs. I just bought a seabae and pair of saddle backs yesterday i am going to post pics when i get home from work today.

[LargeAngels]

Well it isn't quite as colorfull as the last ones. Wow!! But these were my favorite, and one was my largest. The female GSM was 4 1/2"

[neuroracer]

BonsaiNut, whose anemones are those? They are beautiful!

I love carpets!

[BonsaiNut]

Those are "true" carpets - gigantea versus haddoni. Haddoni (also known as saddleback) carpets are much more dangerous in a reef tank -- I find they are about the worse fish-eaters of the clown anemones. I have kept them in reef tanks before, but I pretty much resign myself to losing a fish every half year or so. Having a clown pair in the anemone helps a lot to keep other fish away.

I have seen red, green and blue "true" carpets before. But this photo of the purple one is the first purple I have ever seen. They are from some Japanese reef sites I have been surfing the last few days.

[Addicted Reefer]

BonsaiNut ,

Thanks for sharing the great photos. I see what your saying about the clowns mine defends the anemones like nothing else matters and that might be the answer to keeping fish out of there stomachs. Do you have clowns that host in your carpet? I have seen a lot of excellent tanks from japan and even a rare clown recently that is a slightly colder water fish.

[Dlckwood]

Now thats what you call a cool anemone tank! It looks like most of those pics came from the same tank.

Thanks for the pics the clams look great. What kind of lighting are you using? Is the Iwaki 70RLT providing alot of flow i am trying to not clutter the tank and wanted to split the return and run 2 sea swirls off that for all the flow in the tank. I was planning on using a mag drive 2400gph have you heard bad things about them? thats a good idea putting the skimmer next to the tank hidden i think i might borrow that one.:D

You know I only send one clam pic Itry to send more but the RC went to blink:lol:
As for the tank the tank is in my living room and is a small home so I have no room for refuge. the Iwaki don't put to much flow in the tank. I have my chiller in the crowlspace and by the time it get back to the tank is only 1000GPH so i have four MJ 1200 on a wave. I don't need any more water flow the corals growing like weeds as it is. As for the lights I have a CSL hood is three 250W Iwasakis MH and two 96W 7100k PC blue.

[Addicted Reefer]

I opened everyone of those pics, i thought he must really like this clam.:D It looks huge do you target feed it?

How bad does the halides heat up the water i am tring to avoid a chiller but i do not beleive its going to be possible. I am planning on 3 x 400w 20,000k radiums with 4 actinic VHO's is that overkill?

Yes you goin to need a chiller every thing you put in the tank it heat up the water:mad:
the pumps and the lighits heats up the water put if i turn the pumps off the water cools off but i dont like any other pumps so i live with it.

Awesome fish i have its a powder blue right? I have a chocolate tang that is going to be something else when it grows up. There adult colors are so much better than the juvenile. I figured i had to get a chiller it sucks but its a neccesary item. Do you recommend yours and is there any thing you would have done different?

[Dlckwood]

I just bought a green BTA today. It looked great in the store. The only concern is will it get along with my rose BTA? I will post pics later today or tomarrow.
DAL:p

[TIGER SHARK]

I would not put more than one anemone in the same tank, unless they are all clones of each other. Especially the same kind anemones as they will compete for the same resources in your tank. They can also detect each other and may unleash chemical warfare on each other to lessen the competition. If you do a search, you can find some other threads on this. Some people do not have any problems but others do so is it worth one of your anemones? I would look into setting up another tank for the new BTA. I have 2 tanks now, one for my green BTA and Im getting a rose for my other tank this weekend! :D

[Dlckwood]

Your concern is respectfully noted but I am willing to try it. Most of the research that I have done suggest to not put two anemones in the same tank that are differnt spiecies. In most cases people have not had as much trouble with the same. I hope I am just as lucky as the rest.
DAL:p

[TIGER SHARK]

Well I cannot stop you from trying, I was tempted myself but I dont want to risk it. In time, mine will split and I will have more so I can wait. 40g is somewhat small for 2 anemones also, so I would run carbon weekly and also keep up with water changes so to hopefully keep the toxin levels low if they do release them. If you can get the anemones on each side of the tank, that might help to. Good luck and let us know how things work out!

[Dlckwood]

TIGER SHARK
Lets see your favorite anemone! You must be excited that it is almost about to split. Do you have any secrets up your sleeves?
DAL:p

[TIGER SHARK]

Well the one I have right now, is up under a rock so its really hard to see, so I dont have any pics but hopefully the rose I get this weekend will pick a better spot to call home. As for splitting, Im just going to try the heavy feedings, and give it optimal living conditions and we'll see if that works. I dont actually know that it will split, but they seem to quite often with the above conditions.

It is in the ocean bonsai nut was joking around. he said so but i think its back a few pages.

[TIGER SHARK]

My clowns just looked at it for the first couple hours but then they jumped right in. I thought they would because they always try to host in all of my other corals but none are really big enough for the both of them. Do your clowns try to host in your other corals? If not that might be the problem, some clowns do and some dont, its a real tossup. I have 440Watts of VHO. Try a picture of clowns in an anemone near your anemone.

[barebottoms]

http://www.naturesimageonline.com/images/NI-39ABC.jpg :D Ideal beginner anenome too!

[TIGER SHARK]

I saw those plastic anemones on a website the other day too but I think they cost more than a real one. They should be making affordable alternatives to live anemones...

[intekhab]

From realistic prospective, I doubt all these three anemone can thrive together as chemical warfare will definitely kill the weaker ones :p

And why the heck they have 9 clowns?? Why they want one lonely one when all the others enjoying their mate :))

[barebottoms]

Maybe the fake anemone is so expensive because it takes a lot of technology to make fake percs host in them :D Those fake percs are just sooo picky.

[PygmyAngel]

I had 3 (now 4) anemones in a 75g reef, till about a week or 2 ago when my smallest one split in two...

My other 2 anemones are HUGE, and thriving very well. It might be that they are all the same type of anemone, and therefore not fighting. My maroon clown pair host in all the anemones, and they are like one big happy family.

I've had 2 anemones for a year and a half, and the 3rd anemone I got last July.

[Dog boy Dave]

Here are three carpets and some bubble tips on one side of my 180. There are two more blue carpets and some rock anemones in the tank as well. The bubbles stay up high and dont bother the carpets. The carpets dont bother each other at all. They do compete for light. They all will sting my acropora and kill it quick though.

[Dlckwood]

Cool looking tank. No problems with all of those anemones?
DAL:p

[Dlckwood]

Does anybody have any pics of those really cool marbled BTA's
DAL:p

[Dog boy Dave]

The Only problems that I have with all of the anemones is with my SPS, actinidictus, rodactus, and ricordia. Most of the other softies and LPS are OK with light contact. The Carpets all lay over each other and compete for the best spots and for the light but I never see any evidence of them stinging each other. Some of the these animals have been in the system since 95 and all of the carpets have been in the system at least a year so these are long term observations.
Even though, I have had problems with a roamer every now and then and I Would NOT recomend that one mix with the SPS. The reason mine are mixed is the SPS are the last editions and it just happened that way. I would not add soft corals (sinularia and such) or anemones to an SPS tank.

[Dlckwood]

Not saying this is your story but anemones will split when stressed. only god knows if that is what happened to yours but seems a little weird it died right after it split? Are you water parameters alright?

Hope you the best of luck it is very beautiful.

[Dlckwood]

It split because it was healthy and the water was good. It then never regrew a mouth and after a few months withered away. It is still alive in my tank but has no tenticles.

[BlAcK_PeRcUlA]

anemones sometimes do split when things are bad. SOme guy used to trigger splitting by doing water changes which stress them for a small amount of time.

I'm hoping to get this one to clone but I dont want a recap of what happened before. Addicted Reefer was most likely right that they were strested but I going to monitor that much better this time.

Here's my BTA. I guess you could call it 'marbled'. It's both red, pink, and green with light white stripes. I've had it about 9 months and it's split into 3 anemones. This is the mother. Anyway, here's my pics:

Thats a good looking group!
DLCKWOOD:p

[trueblackpercula]

yuo had the fish for a year and the anemone for 9 weeks

[criccio]

DLCKWOOD, what a stunning rose. Do the pics truly represent it's coloration?

[Dlckwood]

Actually, it was even more red. I only had it for a few days though. It was the strangest thing, that one shrived up while my rose from alvin was fully expanded and had bubble tips. I wish it was the other way around. I wouldnt have minded as much if alvins died.

[TwinRotts]

Great thread, glad it's still active.

Here's my first BTA. Color is kind of drab, but you gotta keep a spot in your heart for your first!

By the way DLckwood (had to edit to spell that correctly :), I saw in an earlier post the discussion about keeping multiple BTAs of different species in one tank...I've got 4 different ones, all totally thriving.

[TwinRotts]

And you were asking for marbles. I guess that's what this is. All you can usually see is it's tips, but when you can see everything, he looks like somebody splattered white paint all over a neon green surface. Too cool.

[TwinRotts]

And my rose. This one's actually probably 15" across when fully expanded.

These two clowns actually bonded with all 4 BTAs in the tank. But they never feed them, just protect/clean them. Can't wait for them to spawn.

[hammerhead]

This guy is my buddy.

[TwinRotts]

And pinkie. Used to be real pink, but has since changed to kind of brown/green.

Has little pink dots on each tip.

And who says you can't teach a fish to say "cheese"

[TwinRotts]

The pink at night. These colors are accurate!

Awsome rose there mrrobertson.

[Dlckwood]

Very cool anemones TwinRotts. Are all of those in the same tank?
DLCKWOOD:p

[TwinRotts]

Yes they are. This pic shows 3 of them. The pink is just to left of kole tang, green marble is above and behind the pink, just to the right of the red zoa colony, and rose is on far right. The original green is on the other end of the tank.

This pic was taken exactly 1 month ago today, so you can see how fast they're growing from the previous shots. The pink actually rises all the way up to where those red zoas used to be (moved them cause the green marble kept them closed all the time) and covers almost that entire hole.

The clowns care for all 4 of them, but for some reason don't feed them.

I think some day I'm going to set up a BTA/clown only tank, with maybe some zoas scattered about.

[TwinRotts]

Ok, this is the first time I've tried this camera feature (stitch multiple shots). This is 90% of my tank (right side is cut off a bit). Had to shrink the crap out of it to make it fit, so we'll see how it turns out. No fish showing---just look at the yellow tang that did get caught. And of course the green marble BTA is hiding. This is under actinics too. You can see the last green BTA just above the red zoas on the right (those are the ones I moved from above the pink BTA).

This is sad, I poured a beer a while ago in a frozen glass...then came in to "check" the boards. Beer is warm and pizza is cold now. Ahhh the sacrifices we make:rolleyes:

[Dlckwood]

very cool. Try out www.ripway.com to host your pics so you can have the picture show in your post.

[richdragon32]

timhenry is that a condy anemone? If it is, awesome for having the pink skunk host in it!

[timhenry]

yes it was a condy! :)


i lost the anemone:( i don't think i had enough light....but my stupid LFS said i did......this is before i did a lot of rs....

it was living under 15watts pc on a 10 gallon......

how much more pc lighting will i need to keep one successfully?


tim

[richdragon32]

for a 10 gallon, you could use 1 55watt 50/50. I know a great place online where you can buy it for less than $50. PM me if you want the site.
