Anenome with Purple Tips

[FishyFamily]

I just bought an anenome that is white with little purple tips. Does anyone know what type of anenome this it?

Sorry, didn't get a pic before I left for work this morning.

Actually it has long tentacles (?) rather than bubbly ones. It looks a lot like this...

I've tried to google for the specifc name but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

EDIT:

Hmmmm, I guess my answer was in the link LOL. Is it technically called a purple tip anemone?

Condylactus Anemone . Probably wont host a clown

In addition to the Condy, could also be a sebae.

Dunno how sure you are of your ID or not. Just passing this along.

The sebae looks more like it.

I'm guessing it won't host a clown either?

 

[Sadielynn]

sebaes will host a clown ...

 

[Devilishturtles]

Sebaes will definitley host clowns.

A word of caution though. Sebaes are one of the harder to care for anemones. Make sure you keep up on water changes.

HTH

LOL, I was wrong - it is definately a condy.

So, will there be any problems if I introduce a carpet, bubble or saddle in addition to the condy?

There is definate potental for issues of chemical warfare or just a stinging war ....either way I would remove one if you want the other ....I would not recomend 2 anenome ...HTH

Esp. in a 35 gallon tank. Also carpets are difficult to keep as well as very lethal to your fish.

It was my understanding that the carpet is the natural host for the percula clown, what would you suggest as a proper host?

Clowns are clowns, they will host about anything they feel comfortable hosting, even phs, or misc corals......or nothing.....

This is very true as I bought my clowns a BTA and they rewarded me by ignoring the anenome and hosting a bubble coral and a pagoda cup coral. So much for human reasoning.

 

[roka64]

Yeah, human reasoning and clown reasoning not anywhere close! LOL!
