| Anenome identification I'm pretty new to this whole saltwater aquarium thing, but my husband got us started and now I'm hooked.
Unfortunately, I let him make all the decisions in the beginning and he is the worst person to keep track of names etc.
He bought an Anemone several months ago which has since split and then both of those split again. It is a really pretty anemone, but I really want to know what it is and he of course doesn't remember. I have tried searching a number of sites and so far have not found a picture that matches. I'm a bit frightened since it keeps splitting and I don't really want an all anemone tank. I was very excited at the first split, but now I am up to 4 and getting a bit paranoid that the LFS sold him something that is considered a nuisance by those in the know. They are each about an inch and a half across, though slightly smaller right after a split. I have tried to attach a picture so hopefully someone knows what it is and if I need to give it to my step-daughters marine biology class or if I should just keep them. Also, if anyone has any ideas why I they are splitting so much that would be great. I don't know if I am doing something very right or very wrong. I am guessing I am feeding them too much, though I cut back to once a week or less about 2 months ago after the first split and some investigation. I also have several other anemones and one of my bubble tips has also split if that helps.
Thanks for any help you can give.
I'm also new to forums on the web, but love reading the posts so I figured I would try one. Please forgive any mistakes I may have made in this post.
Thanks again |
