I have had this anemone for a yr now. It has been through one move and is about to move to our new house in a few days, but anyway i still don't know what kind it is? I can try to get different pics if needed just let me now what you need to see. Well that's if i can figure out how to post them.

Hi, that's a Sebae anemone, cheers.

It might a long tentacle anemone...what color foot does it have? does it have spots underneath?

[JTR0510]

i might have to go with a long tentacle as well

[fishslime]

The foot is white at least the part above the sand. and it does have spots or bumps on it.

"Sebae" is not a species of anemone. It's just a generic name used to describe several different species. Typically, crispa and malu, but I've seen it used for others as well.

The anemone doesn't appear to be a long tentacle (M. doreensis)

Judging from the pic, I would say H. malu. There is a chance it could be H. crispa. A closer examination of the column would be needed to be sure. Crispa has a large column and pedal disk with thick leathery tissue. Malu has a thin column, and small pedal disk, with delicate looking tissue. Who knows, there may also be hybrids of the two???????????

Here's a pic of what I considered my H. malu that looks similar to your anemone.

I'm leaning towards it is a Long Tentacle anemone. Looks very healthy too

a picture of the underside will solve this quickly

[fishslime]

Here a picture when i first got it, but it does show the underside some.

Wow i didn't realize how much it has changed in a year!

[elegance coral]

That's H. crispa.

[bradleym]

Yeah H. Crispa. I got one that started the same and looks a lot like yours now. Different shade of brown but same look, white tips and all.

Looks like H. crispa to me--and a healthy one at that.

[fishslime]

Hey thanks, I had an ideal that H. crispa was the species, but then i would see/read something to make me second guess myself.

picture tells it all...H. Crispa
