How to ID Majano vs Rose Bubble Tip

Zpmada · 01/15/2018, 10:01 AM

Hello,

I recently purchased a rose bubble tip Anemone and I'm googling pictures of Rose Bubble Tip Anemones and Majano Anemones and I can't tell the difference. What are some characteristics that I should look out for to make sure I really bought a Rose Bubble Tip and not a Majano?

Thanks!

Who did you purchase it from? I would be ****ed to get a majano instead of a bta, meanwhile supplier is laughing to the bank

Here are some photos. It seems to try to secure itself between two rocks. My rocks aren't glued, rather just resting in place. Will this be a problem? I found it hiding yesterday, and today it is stretching for light. I think it is still getting used to my tank.

As to your question where it came from, a diving instructor.

That is a BTA

Definitely a BTA but I wouldn’t call it a rose unless those pictures don’t show the true color at all.

Here are the different stages of behavior this anemone went through. Is it doing ok and should I do anything to it? It's been in my tank 7 days now. I put it on a top rock with good lighting. I notice the anemone move down to the nearest crack where it planted itself for a day or two. One day I came home and it was completely inside the crack hiding. I think it hurt/squished itself in the process, it was attached upsidown to the top rock, so I gently pulled the rock up, smelled it (I feared it was dying but it didn't smell) and I turned the rock around. Now it is as photographed above. I attached photos of how hidden it was and it looks like a tip or something squished out when it hid under the rock. After turning the rock over, it stretched up for the light. I think it got lost and freaked out under the rock.

Last night's view. Anemone on right side of tank. Power head is on the left but it's not a wave maker. I will try to feed it reef roids tomorrow for the first time if you think thatsok ?

Also I understand I have bryopsis algae and will do the fluconazole treatment. Should that be ok for an anemone that moved in last Friday?

Looks healthy. Tank looks very young though which is not great for Anemones. BTA are pretty tough though.
