2nd Anemone ID please

[Jacojs]

Hi again everyone.

I purchased this anemone from a lfs last week, it was looking very bad and was really the size of a R5 coin, I know I should probably not have bought it but but I wanted to save it.

I know its a bubble tip but can anyone give a more accurate ID please?

It's looking much better now and Im surprised at its size.

Just normal green bta

I'm going to try spell it without googling it. Entacmaea quadricolor.

@CheriS Well thats a let down, here I am thinking I have something special thats just under normal white light though, it looks WAY more spectacular when the Actinics are on, I shall call it my STARBURST BTA it sounds cooler

Ill try to get a photo under actinics tonight and post it here too.

Thanks @viper357

 

[CheriS]

Haha! Do not underestimate green bta's. They can become stunners

 

[madmatt]

That's a nice one. I want a nice green one.
They are the more common one to come across.

 

[Jacojs]

@CheriS Im going to go look through the Anemone pics thread now

 

[madmatt]

A winning BTA would be a Rainbow BTA

 

[Jacojs]

@StrayTang has what he calls a starburst bta! His does look very nice!!

@madmatt for sure!

 

[CheriS]

Mine went from this

To this. Yes under actinic but you get the idea..

Also got one the size of a R5 two weeks ago. Mine seems to have purple tips though. Was pretty messed up with a couple of tentacles looking as if it was chowed of by something.

 

[CheriS]

Tentacles that look chowed usually means it recently split @jacohall
If it has purple tips it will look awesome when it's bigger!

Feeling pretty stupid, but is there any chance this might be a Majano? Just saw an article on another thread and looks quite similar.

Just had a look on Google and it does look very like Majano.

 

[Jacojs]

@CheriS your BTA looks awesome! Do the tips still inflate?

@jacohall yours is also very nice! Going to look great when it gets bigger. I also daw the post about the majano ID and also thought that it looked like a BTA to me too!!! So I really dont know

Excuse the bad cellphone pics but this is what it looked like at the store.

This is after a few minutes in my tank, it seems to have pink or orange tips, I cant decide.

Ill probably get stoned but I did not acclimate him at all, pulled him out the bag and dumped into tank, I just held it in place until it attached. I read that they dont need acclimation as they are sometimes completely exposed in low tide areas. I probably took a chance yes but he is looking awesome and was within a few minutes of being introduced already more than double its size.

 

[madmatt]

I'm on the hunt for another or 2 types of bubbles.

 

[jacohall]

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack @Jacojs. This is what I am hoping it is!

I like the green ones! Yours looks great!

 

[Jacojs]

No problem @jacohall that is a DAMN nice specimen!!! If yours turn out to look like this let me know

 

[CheriS]

It's not majano

 

[CheriS]

You'll soon see anyway. They don't grow much larger than 3cm. Majano tend to have more tentacles inward and more color on the disc
