It is a Haddoni carpet. Looks OK but maybe a little stressed.
It is a Haddoni carpet. Looks OK but maybe a little stressed.
Fixed my issue, purchased 3 BTA’s from WWC, a WWC Flame, WWC Hawaiian Punch, and WWC Rainbow.So I just recently got stuck in a situation. So I decided to rescape/start over my display. I sold all of my coral and most of the rock and now have a new structure with some old rock mixed in. I had a large BTA island previously and a pair of percs that were in the island for 10 plus years. Those were all part of the sale. Late last night, my wife decided to surprise me with some new clowns and an anemone. She showed up with a paired set of Maroons. Female is a Golden Dot and the male is either a Goldflake or Thunder not sure as I don’t know the age. The anemone is the best I can tell a Ritteri, definitely not a BTA. In all honesty she was a little upset I had sold the clowns and BTA island. Fair enough.. will these clowns host this type of anemone? They showed up in one bag together, but since in the tank, nowhere near the nem. Secondly, I’ve never had this type of anemone. I had planned on letting the tank just chill for the next couple of months before adding anything in. As she showed up later in the evening, I knew the stores would be closed, and don’t have a small holding tank. So in it all went. Feeling a bit stressed this morning that it may have been a mistake as I’m not familiar with either species. As in I’ve known about them both, but they weren’t on my radar. And finding the two together is a bit tough online, making me feel they won’t pair up. Any suggestions??? Please
So I just got home from work and he has gotten huge.. he still has to place his foot somewhere but hes grown in size. I'm assuming that's a good thing?That is a very stressed anemone. Possibly a H. crispa, or even a H. malu. Better pictures of the anemone will help. Clear picture of the column, oral plate, and foot.
That is either a H. crispa 85% sure or possibly a H. malu 15% sure.
Not a BTA, LTA, Magnifica or any of the Carpets. Not a Aurora.
Haha thanks!!! I cant wait to see when it gets comfortable and is fully extended.He's not saying it is a hybrid, just saying he isn't sure on the ID. He is 85% sure it is H. Crispa but if that is wrong then it is H. Malu.
