Howdy All. Can anyone help id this "anemone"?
The tentacals are translucent/clear but looks like they might have a colored tip. It's very small, maybe 1/4 long.
I assumed it was just a manjano or maybe a flat aiptasia but it doesn't have any foot or pedestal to speak of. What really has me wondering if it isn't something else (crossing fingers) is that it appears to have a coral like base to it. The white radial lines appear to be hard, calcium like structures, not goo.
I found 2 others, and one that looks like the first but is dead (no tentacals ever out). When I touch that it is defintely hard, coral skeleton like. The 3 alive ones do retract the tentacals at night.
one other id: can anyone confirm that the second file is just some orange version of bubble algae? The color is so beautiful I might just leave it for a little while! Hard to tell from the pic but there is some type of internal structure around the edges of each bubble that look like tubes if that helps.
Thanks for the help!!
oh, and how the heck do I embed an image verses upload a thumbnail!
peace
