Does anyone know exactly what kind of anemonie this is? The LFS told my friend it is a BTA but I'm not sure if thats right. Just want to make sure. Thx

BTA. Are you leaning towards H.magnifica? Might be, post more pics.

[beefcake]

It's the only one he sent me. So you think it is a BTA then ?

Looks like a Bta to me too. I've never seen a ritteri that small.

BTA or H. Magnifica

I have seen a few specimins that small, but they are usually rare. The only reason I am including H. Magnifica as an option is due to the pink/red base, dark tentacles with a hint of pale yellow showing up on the tips.

Maybe its just the lighting/camera? Don't know. Keep an eye on it and feed it and give it lots of light and you will be good to go :)

Good Luck!

My friend has them under PC lighting, would a ritteri live under PC lighting? If not then I guess we could rule that out. :confused:

[BlAcK_PeRcUlA]

Did you get that anemone from a friend?

Usually ritteri's wont survive on PC's but they can live for months in decline before you realize it.

Actually it is my friends. I was thinking of getting one because his clowns host in it and the LFS (where he got it) has several and they all are hosting Ocellaris percs. Thats another reason I thought they might not be BTA's.

[BlAcK_PeRcUlA]

Well clowns aren't a very reliable way of seeing which species an anemone is. My clown likes my overflow at night...

Ocellaris host in bta's in my LFS all the time.

Someone must know what this thing is ?
