OK - I admittedly know very little about identification of anemones. Especially ones from pictures.

Trying to figure out what the blue anemone??? is in this photo. Not even sure it is an anemone, possibly rhodactis or a mushroom, IDK.

This photo wasn't taken by me but was emailed to me about a year ago so I'm gonna go ahead and post it for some help.

Thanks in Advance

BTW: I deleted the email in which the pictures were sent from so I cannot simply ask via a reply...

I figured as much.... but this is all I got.

I figured it would be a long shot.

I have 12 post meta latezonatus fry (15 or 16 days old) I was thinking about getting them a sleeping bag of sorts :lol:

Simply trying to identify a suitable bag, so to speak.

The parents have about a half dozen BTA's. I'm bored with the BTA's though and there is a blue up for sale. Although the thought of my babies becoming snacks makes me wonder if it is worth it or not. So I figured if the latz in the pics were playing in a haddoni, that it might be something I'd try.

Yeah its kinda sketchy I have seen a haddoni eat a healthy adult clownfish.

I am 99% sure that it is an S. Haddoni.

Looks similar to the one I used to have.

What a gorgeous photograph!

Thanks for confirmation Todd. I'm doubting I'll get a stab at the blue though looks like some locals (to the seller) chimed in....

We'll see though. I'm pretty darn confident they don't have 12 latz babies to put inside of it :lol: So maybe, said seller will throw me a bone.
