Re: Purple Tipped Anemone . . .

Thanks Lynn. It's getting more color weekly now. When I got it (was sort of a "rescue" situation it was very white with faint purple tips. It's much darker now even more of a pinkish color.

As for care it just sits there in one spot (it roamed for several days after it went in there) and gets spot fed every other day or so. I'm sure it gets some stuff from the tank during feeding time but I only spot feed it now and again.

Again thanks Lynn.

Allen

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...(-NO3=WC%)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Re: Purple Tipped Anemone . . .

Well, we are all stupid and do not know what we are looking at, accept Lynn It is a Sebae Anemone, Heteractis malu. I should have seen that on the first post Often they have short tentacles and the one you have is often called the Purple Tipped Sabae.

Re: Purple Tipped Anemone . . .

Thanks gang! I really appreciate that info!!!

Lynn twice in one week? Does that mean we should "over look" anything you say for the rest of the week?
