Banded Bead Anemone

[Maxstar81]

Been about a mth.

Its doing well. Not as brown as my other one but improving.

In my opinion, is much easier to keep than BTA.

Stupid BTA keep roaming about....

Its free, just go down to the beach and choose the size U want !

the BTA is Not Stupid. Rather is smart. That is why we like anemones dun u?

The symbiotic relationship with clowns and the fact that they can move to find a better spot to survive to ur other corals, they cannot move to find stronger lighting positions or flow.

The need to understand them more each they is the progress we learn. There is something amiss about your tank.

Either insufficient lighting or flow.

till now, i've always handled anemones bare-handed. Nothing wrong anyway. Except that its tentacles felt sticky.

this can be commonly found on all of our beaches.. look on rocks or ropes can u can find them closed like a ball of jelly or open like a flower.. they do sting but its not harmful to humans as their sting only works for small fishes..

beware when keeping in a small tank together with small fishes.. its somewhat similar to the tube anemone.. when harvesting from beach, pls be careful not to injure the foot/base of the anemone.. have fun..

[Dazza]

yes can be found closed all over the place during low tides.... keep b4 when i was younger, very easy.. feed prawn meat until all grow super big n healthy .. bunch together like bouquet of flowers

[Kelmen]

your one look so "white". Maybe it dont need light, so no need bother "shifting home" for better light?

Area51,

I don't think nemo likes this type of anemone.

slcw,

My BTA prefers better current over light.

Hide under filter till it almost turn paper white.

Had to manually dig it out and give it tann.

Venezia and Dazza,

Spot on man. U guys sounds like seasoned beach combers.

Kelmen,

yes, mine is a little white. Need tann few more weeks like

my other bigger 1 b4 it'll be nice brown colour.

for all the response guys.

then ur is probably bleached.

it is resorting to flow for food.

it will take months to recover the zoos.

feed occassionally to nurse it back

Venezia and Dazza,

[Maxstar81]

Venezia ? I also curious.

Where do you hang out ?

[Dazza]

cdckjn,, yes maxstar81's got it rite... i usu comb pasir ris when the tide is low n when i hv time.... most of time just go to east coast park.... these anemones can be found there in abundance.... when u walk on those stone structures etc, they're literally under yr feet, just that u didnt noticed tahst all cos they all closed up during low tide

hey maybe we shd go beach combing together hahaha ... need to replenish mysis but hv to wait for next low tide as the low one just over now...

[Maxstar81]
