is there such a thing as a "healthy white anemone"? the lfs in my community has had two or three "African white anemone" roll thru and ive observed them in their tanks and they seem to be doing okay, just that their all white with glowing purple tips. is this some weird new anemone or their way of sugar coating a bleached out animal by giving it an exotic name

So I have Bali blood red nems. I am curious if anyone knows genus/species so I can look for others. There were a few old images (6 year) that look similar but with more interesting colors., but weren't called maxi minis.

How common is this? Last night doing some after hours flashlight recon I was stunned to find this:




That fish is my long time resident black fang blenny. The rbta was added a few months ago and has not moved since it's been in the tank. I have no idea how long the blenny has been doing this, but will be checking again tonight to see if this is normal for him.

Sorry if that wasn't clear. This fish is safely sleeping there. He was out and about this morning. I find this incredible. Is this common?

thank you OrionN

Do you know how to make its tentacles grow longer?
marlon,
How is the Magnifica. Have he color up yet?
I did not see your question until now.
I have had magnifica with tentacles like your's and they will stay that way. Other Magnifica I have have longer and more pointed tentacles. I think it is genetics

How is he now. He looks bleached in your picture. He should regain his color by now.

The only truly white anemones are non-photosynthetic. They lack zooxanthellae. All of the common anemones we keep in the hobby have zooxanthellae, therefore they are not white. Even "Condy" anemones should not be white. Here is a pic of me collecting one in the wild. As you can see, it isn't white. https://imageshack.com/i/89sn854087j

Ok got a question.

What could cause my Purple LTA to move.

I have a Purple LTA that has been in the same spot for 4 months now. The other day I noticed that it was no
longer attached to the rock it was on. It had moved off the rock and had attached itself to the back glass of my tank. It stayed there
for a few days and then decided to move even further up the glass.

The new position it is in doesn't really get anymore flow, however it will be getting more light because it is now about 6 - 8 inches
close to the lights.

I feed it pretty much every night (mysis and Brine) when I feed the tank, It does not get a ton of food. Is this to much food and
could that be the reason.

Here is a picture of my Purple LTA in its current position, it was on the sandbed atached to the rock you see under it.

Be careful i had one of these that went on the move and a day or so later i found half of him at the bottom he had climbed into my power head and got shredded. They move when they dont like there current placement to find a better(more favorable) location.

I must say your white "carrot" Mahnifica looks beautiful. Definitely looks healthy. You said you had it for 8 months? Looks good to me.

I have had several anemones with good success but the newest one doesn't seem to be doing to well. Have had it 1/2 year now and its not growing suppose to be long tentacle but not doing well. moved around for a day or two and settled on a location. Just don't know why its not growing. Last one I bought was small to start like this one, in a year it was the size of a dinner plate before a butterfly my wife had to have picked at the base till it died, but this one is just surviving. Any suggestions or just a dud of an animal? OH I got rid of that Butterfly.
