To Reef Central

It is an BTA -- E. Quadricolor

sean112280 · 06/28/2010, 11:23 AM

Thank you. Does it seem to be doing ok to you? I mean im fairly new to this and I believe it is doing well. but it seems the he gets restless and moves around the tank. He's in a 72g BF and I only have the 2 clowns, and a bi-color angel. I 'm waiting on another powerhead to circulate the water better. Do you think that might have something to do with it? Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

Doesn't look too bad.

What lights do you have?

What are the current water parameters--- with numbers.

How long has the tank been set up?

Something isn't right -- otherwise it wouldn't be moving, but it doesn't look like anything is wrong with it. Answer the above questions and we can go from there.

sean112280 · 06/28/2010, 11:32 AM

I have 2 metal halide's
I need to get a test kit, but SG is 1.026
I recently upgraded from a 30 gal that was set-up for 2yrs and i used all the sand, water and live rock from that set-up. I think I dont have enough flow. could that be a reason for it to move around? I only have one hydor koralia 2 right now Im waiting on the second one that should be here in the next 3 days.

sean112280 · 06/28/2010, 11:38 AM

The light I have is the current usa sunpod 250w. It has 2 14,000K HQI Metal Halide

~Mayhem~ · 08/28/2010, 08:33 PM

Can anyone tell me the name? what i know is that it came in on a shipment from AUS, the store owner said that he had never seen it before.

I have not seen this color mix much before, is this pretty rare?

Looks like a real bleached purple.

But otherwise healthy. You feeding it?

lmarreropsb · 10/03/2010, 01:22 PM

the picture doesnt look all that good it was taken with a cell phone...yes I am feeding it

garygb · 10/03/2010, 08:01 PM

jdwreefer, you have a long tentacle (Macrodactyla doreensis) anemone there. The one you have is quite bleached and with time and proper lighting and water conditions will become a deep purple color. It should be kept in a deep sand bed (4-5 inches) of fine aragonite sand. If you don't have a deep sand bed in your tank, you can get a tupperware container, let the anemone attach to the bottom, fill the container with sand and place some liverock strategically in front of the tupperware so the container is concealed from sight. If that species isn't in a deep sand bed, it will continually move and eventually fail.

Looks like your perculas took to the anemone, though LTA are not a natural host for A. percula. Assuming you have bright lights and high quality water, the anemone should completely recover. It's best to target feed a couple of times per week until it's darkened up. Pea size pieces of fresh shrimp (like you would find in the seafood dept. at the grocery store), squid, krill, scallops (also fresh from the seafood dept.) would be good food choices.

Keep us posted.

garygb · 10/03/2010, 08:04 PM

Oops, I meant to address that to Imarreropsb rather than jdwreefer.

lmarreropsb · 10/04/2010, 04:28 PM

Thank you for the advice garygb. The anemone has gotten a bit darker since I got it.. That picture was taken when I put it in the tank and it had just got in to the lfs about a day before. It is doing very well and has picked a spot on the sand that it must like because it has not moved. The percs and a pair of porcelane crabs are hosting it. everyone seems happy.

garygb · 10/05/2010, 12:01 AM

Good to hear. Glad the anemone and its symbionts are doing well.

The creature on the left in the photo is not an anemone but is a Euphyllia ancora, or anchor coral. It has a hard skeleton. Certain clownfish will host in it though.

katarina · 11/09/2010, 08:59 PM

Thank you

MammothReefer · 11/24/2010, 01:18 PM

Here is an anenome, I got from a friend of mine years ago when his split. I always had a good idea of what it was, but never 100% Postitive. I'd love to find another the same, but both me and him tore down our tanks years ago. (i've since gotten a new tank) but can no longer find this anenome/colour morph.

Here it is not to long after it split it's healed up but still a little bleached.

Here it is after it coloured up.

I want to say Heteractis magnifica, but never was 100%

yardboy · 11/27/2010, 02:05 PM

I'd say it's magnificent, and seems to be a Heteractis, but don't know about magnifica. Its column would be "highly colored" if it is a magnifica, but doesn't appear to be from the upper photo. H. crispa has a duller column, and prominent verrucae (bumps) on its column, while H. magnifica is smoother. H. crispa can be purple also, so I'd think it's a H. crispa from the pictures.
Hope that helps.
