No they wont, they are the same species, just diff. color morphs. Like a RBTA and a BTA.

Does anyone know the name of the anemone that viper showd a picture of. I think it was like the 3rd pictures shown.

Hi Newbieabc- That's a RBA or Rose bubble tip anemone. Very popular. I have a green one in my tank. True perks just LOVE that variety. My favorite anemone.

Thanks Allison!!! It really caught my eye.

Ya not a problem-
The good thing is they divide quite redily so you should be able to find one through someone local. I don't know if anyone else has this issue but mine will not take to the sandbed. It will only attach to a rock, but then they stay there and don't seem to stray from the location which is good. I personally find them as one of the easier varietys my self.

I go to that zoo all the time and i've always wondered what kind of anemone that was, I always assumed it was a LTA 'cuz it's never "bubbled"

Heres some pics of my rock/flower anemone...and his 'lil friend.

This was my GBTA. I kind of got scared of him in a 55 gallon.

 

[michaeltx]

why did you get scared of it in a 55 gallon tank>?

[poniegirl]

I thought he snacked a favorite fish (only to find it 6 months later);worried about my seahorses. When I gave him away (yep, free) he was about a third again as big as he was in this photo. He was a beauty.

 

[michaeltx]

ah now that makes sense it sounded like you yourself was afraid of the anemone? LOL

YEp, they hate sand bed, they like crevices in the rock, Mine, is still regrowing its tentacles
