Anemone at T&T (1 Viewer)

[Guest]

I just bought the green tip Anemone they had there but im having trouble finding the exact name for it. I want to do more research for the proper care for it. My queston is did anyone see it there? Do you know the name?

any bulbs on those tips? there are green tipped bubble tip anemones. it's possible that it is just deflated from the whole shipping and introduction to the store's tanks.

Well as of right now its not open cause I just put it in Its long tentacle and there varied shades of green on them

Either BTA or LTA. If there are "spots" on the side of its base it is a LTA otherwise my money is on BTA.

I see small green spots it looks like. Or do you mean its foot? Or under the tentacles? Im rather upset at the fact that I got him on impulse. And now ive realized my nitrites are high. I hope it cycles them with my water changes and it can pull through it. Is there anything do that you pro's may know To speed this up and increase the survival rate for this awsome looking anenome? And what are the best feeding options from your experiences?

Thanks in advance

Base/foot same thing. No real way to speed up a cycle. Most people would suggest at least waiting 3 months and preferablly 6 after the intial cycle before adding an anenome. There are other factors that happen as a new tank matures that we do not or can not test. Nitirites are a killer to anenomes and even fish. I would take it back.

You bought that giant anemone, when I went there it was sticking to the glass. That thing is huge.
That one is a BTA. How big is your tank?

No I got the samller one he had but I since had to take it back. As my water conditions were not allowing it to thrive ill be getting another one after I lower my nitrates
