Heres my flowers and curley q and condi and no they are not all in the same tank! My condy usually has the bight purple tips, but the flash washes them out...same with the flowers mouth one has a florecent green mouth and the other is hot pink..I need a better camera. He may have just got his LTA, it has been my experience they look like that when you first get them. Did you put him on top of the rock or did he go there?

What should I do? The guy at the lfs said I have enough lighting. I have 2 65watt 10000k flos, 2 65watt 10000k actinics, and 4 moons in a fixture. If not enough what should I get? Fairly new to the hobby. Any help would be great!!!

The unidentified anemone is much bigger than a nickle, getting close to 2 inches across. Some people have said beadlet but it has tubercles on its column, I have not found any info that states beadlets have tubercles. It resembles a moonglow except that is a brownish/red color. It also resembles the aggregating anemone except for the color. I haven't really found a whole lot of info on other anemones with the tubercles-wart-like structers on the column.

nope, not nearly enough lighting. you need metal halides

yes, they're all three in the same tank. i know that's ill-advised but i monitor them very closely and they have all found the spot in the tank that they like best so they haven't moved in months. i also have a maroon and a clarkii who love each other and then a pair of tiny true percs (that's who the sebae is for). they all get along wonderfully so i guess you could say that's strange. they all have their own anemones and i haven't had any problems. knock on wood.
sorry for the hijack.

Hey they are neat if they have babies I would be interested..I like the warty one...do they move much or bother anything in your tank? Tell me more about them, what do you have in your tank, as far as corals and such. thanks for sharing I vote yours the most unusual!

If it does clone,split, or reproduce by some other means I will let you know.The warty one has moved about an inch down the rock it is on, It moved towards the direction that I squirt food at it. I do not know to much about it. It likes flake food and frozen invert food. I haven't noticed it bothering anything(knock on wood). I have had him for about 2 months now and it has grown a little. The pet store I purchased it at said it was a waratah, I am pretty sure it is not. I got him for free it was on a 6 pound piece of live rock and the fellow at the LFS did not want to try and get him off of the rock. And thanks it is unusual, and I like like unusual

You don't NEED metal halides for a LTA.
Just place the anemone as close to the lighting as possible.

No I don't think that’s strange. I have a Caribbean carpet and a LTA and BTA all in the same tank with no problems. I think its up to the keeper to make sure that one wonders into each others space.
