New carpet anemone

GatorReefman · 10/09/2020, 06:22 AM

Sorry my uploaded picture is upside down. I think he is a hadonni carpet .
When I got him almost two months ago, he was mostly bleached. Now he looks light green, not fluorescent green. His companion is a sebae anemone with a pair of misbarred black clowns.

It is a Haddoni, and it looks very healthy. Congrats on restoring it to full health!

Anemones are in a 40, not the 20.

Here is another more recent picture.

Full view of both anemones . Outbreak of red slime - just too nervous to treat right now.

I might be wrong but I think your other anemone is a Heteractis Aurora. They are very awesome IMO and I don't see them too often.

Petco sold it as a sebae back last December. I have it under 250 watt hqi metals
10000K and T5 - blue type . It looked really good 6 months ago- magenta with full tentacles until I had a bad outbreak of a slimy algae/ bacteria? Forced to use a double dosage of chemiclean . it hasn’t looked the same since. This tank
has episodic algae issues- kept me from keeping acros now for almost two years.

Magenta? That sounds so cool! do you have pictures of it when it didn't change color yet?

GatorReefman · 10/28/2020, 02:38 AM

Not those pictures. Think my carpet anemone is getting more green. Been dosing weak Kalkwasser with my topoff water.

Nice Heteractis aurora (not surprised Petco labeled it "sebae").

I think it is a H. malu instead of H. aurora.

Nice anemones
