Hard to tell, there's quite a selection. They are all anemones. Some are sucked in, but that can be natural as in feeding.

I think the small one in the front middle may be a sebae. And the rest may be bubble tips. Idk no though

 

[Bectan01]

They all look like bubble tips to me, if you are thinking of getting one make sure it's got plenty of colour and doesn't look like its turning white. Wish my LFS had that many nems!

 

[Foskett96]

Do they look healthy to you?

 

[Gregcoyote]

They don't look bleached at least.

They look like bubble tips. They look healthy to me

 

[Foskett96]

Oh here are some closer pics

 

[Aaarrrggghhh80]

The greenish one is a bubble tip, the other is a sand anemone (lives on the substrate) the LFS is using blue actinic light, ask them to turn on the whole spectrum

The photo up the top in the first post is full spectrum

Nah it's not! Surely? I don't think they have their sun lamp on?? Anyway, bubble tip and sand anemone. Look great to me.

 

[Foskett96]

Sand anemone? Is that the same as sebae anemone?

 

[Aaarrrggghhh80]

They are both from the heteractis classification. Called sand anemone because it lives on the substrate not the LR or glass

 

[Foskett96]

Oh ok. If I was to get the sand anemone and bubble tip would they be ok together in the same tank as one stays on the sand and ones on the rocks?

 

[Aaarrrggghhh80]

Don't see why not

 

[Foskett96]

Ok. Doe the sand look a little bleached as half the tentacles look brown and half a little white in the photo?

 

[Aaarrrggghhh80]

Sand anemones try to camouflage, to look the colour of sand

 

[Foskett96]

Ok thanks a lot for your help. Think I may pick up one of each. Hope my clowns will host them. They did host a bubble a couple of years ago

 

[Aaarrrggghhh80]

They usually pick one especially if they've done it before they should. I've heard of tank bred clowns needing a photo of clowns hosting to be encouraged
