Our New Bubble Tip Anemone

Have tried an anemone before and lost it to a power head after 5 days but the lfs just got a couple of these in and we could not say no to trying again. The first try was a Malu anemone that would not settle in 1 place, this one has fixed itself down in the first few mins, the Malu never did. Beautiful pink in the shop which its just getting back after the move to our tank.

Just finished aclimatising...



After a couple of hours...



With large boxing shrimp...



Only problem so far was our huge brittle star that decided to sample the bta, but all seems calm now.


Full tank shot...

Very Nice! Cant wait for more pics, and nice pic quality aswell!

Thanks Mrs jflowers took the pics, i dont have the nack with the camera, very hit and miss when i try LOL.

Will try and get more pics on as it expands in its new tank. Clowns currently host in a toadstool leather, but have been to have a look at the BTA a few times so hopefully they may swap homes.

Gorgeous tank. Yet another tank that makes me want to go marine.

hate to break it to you, but that anemone seems like its on its way out, unless your an expert at this and can put it back to health. Its incredibly bleached for a BTA, what i would do is feed it small portions every day.

There were a few of these anemone's in the shop and they were all different colours. This one is a light pink colour with greeny tips though you perhaps can't see that very well from the photo. It certainly looks healthy to me and didn't look any different to the others in the shop that ranged from dark red to a light green colour. I have looked at pics of bleached anemones since reading your post and ours certainly doesn't look like that either. We will keep an eye on it anyway but I am sure it's fine.
