    Just back from vacation and right to the local LFS, LOL

    Ok,so I just picked up an anemone that is blue tipped with an organge base. I cannot find too much info on the net about them. I am leaning towards it being a Condy of some sort, not sure..The tentacles are about 8 inches long and it is about 8 inches around.
    Any thoughts on what type of anemone this might be?
    thanks

    I am thinking it could be a long tentacle anemone....Do the tentacles kind of curve inward a little especially the short tentacles around the mouth????

    AHHH, that looks to me like a hatian anemone which is the same as a condy.

    That is my thinking as well.

    Anyone keeping this anemone? If so, have you seen any agression towards other tankmates?

    Thanks

    Do Condy anenomes have an orange base or could this be a different anemone?

    BaxterS80 -- flippin through the photos yesterday, saw a pix of your fwt. Gawd it's a beaut! How do you keep those plants so green? Mine develop what kind of looks like black soot, that I can rub off with my fingertips! (In fact, all of your tanks are gorgeous)
