Heteractis aurora, host to baby clownfish only.
Reference: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/in...a/anemones.htm It's not easiest but you might be able to bring in it back to health. I used to do something similiar but nowadays I know that better to 'encourage' LFS selling poor specimens. |

thanks, that is what i thought it was. and don't get me wrong i didn't buy it to encurage the LFS to keep getting them, but the wife has been wanting an anemone for a very long time and well for 5.00 i figured here is her chance for an anemone. and she didn't care if it hosted clowns our clowns or not as they are already hosting our toadstool but she didn't want a condy

well i admit that one also looks like it to me. lol which is why i asked for an id to start with cause i thought it was either the beaded sea anemone or LTA cause they look the same to me.
now for the good news. after acculimating him and putting him in the tank. he burried his foot in the sand right away and opened up very nicely. the last couple days i have been feeding him chunks of shrimp, and at first took him a while to eat it (guessing because it wasn't the healtyist) but now will eat it within a min. which is a good sign I take it.

if you scroll up to AG13_49 you'll get a better idea of the size of that clownfishes relative to it's anemone. 2) i'm not either, it's small size and column are another thing to look at. his pictures only show so much, but i have seen lots of small m. doreensis which looked exactly like his, changing tentacle shape as they've grown. i didn't respond to this thread to start an argument. i have read somewhere other than your wetweb ref. (didn't open it), about only juveniles hosting but also seem to remember something about a. clarkii being an exception (not positive), i don't know, draw you own conclusions. i'm still looking for photographic proof of a. percula/h. crispa in the field. anyway, what ever the case may be, in time he'll know it's true i.d. |
