My 3mth old Anemone

alien07 · September 6, 2005

Hi Bros. Got this anemone 3mths ago. Picked him up from one tank full or red anemones. Its beautiful to me. Any comments? was about 2 inches when i bought it. now about 3 inches. At first i thought it was bleached. But after 3 mths. the Colour still the same. so... Anyway, not sure whether this Anemone falls into the RBTA cat. or Pink BTA cat. Thanks for reading.

many mths back bought 1 similar in bio-ocean. thought it is rbta then later color kind of fade to pink. Still it look nice but the thing is it start splitting and splitting. So from 1 i get to 2 then 3 then 4 but they get smaller and smaller with the split. Latest episode is 1 of the larger specimen get to the overflow and get entangled between the teeths. To remove it, i had no choice but tear it into 2. At first not too sure to throw away or keep them then saw the tentacles still look ok. Dump it back onto some rocks and observe. LOL it did survive. Sure are tough huh.

since your anemone keeps splitting, can I get a little frag from you. Reading from the thread that these anemone don't last very long - I would like to try to experiment and keep one. Can you please spare me a small anemone?
