    my buddy bought me my first anemone for my tank as a Christmas gift, he said it was a bubble tip anemone, but looks more like a carpet to me, but what do i know, this is my first nem:)

    either way i like it and its nice:)

    OK, I hate to be the one to break the news but that nem looks super super bleached. Almost beyond saving bleached. Pic is kinda blurry but it's shaped like a carpet with bubble shaped tentacles. Strange.

    I was going to say it may be a sebae, but I'm posting from my phone and can't see the pic that well.

    when he brought it over to the house it was pure white, i thought it was really white too, but its day 3 now, and the nem is a light neon green, eating frozen brine and frozen krill and has a good hold of the rock hes on. Under a Radion at 70% and groovin with the flow of a MP40 at about 60% in nutrient export mode.

    That's good...Hopefully he makes it. Maybe a sebae? Generally, when they are that light, they don't do too well. Hopefully that's not the case with this guy.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Another image please and a right side up one would help. :)

    I agree it's bleached but probably going to make a nice comeback. It's attached and eating all good.
