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
Actually there is one anemone that is a host anemome that is naturally white and that is a Mertensi, this was missed from the list of host nems on first page.
But I agree, other than a mertensi all other host nems should not be white.
Can anyone ID this new?
Does it look healthy? Should I feed it? Anything I should know about it?That is H. malu.
Even that anemone is not solid white. Look past the tentacles to the body of the anemone. The body is a browin-ish color. This color is produced by the anemone's zooxanthellae.
Ill try...If you are wondering if it is speckled the answer is yes.....very prettyIt looks like M. doreensis.
Can you get a pic of the underside???
