pizza vs maxi mini anemone??

gatordoc · 05/22/2010, 11:33 AM

Bluezoo has several "pizza" anemones for sale here: http://www.bluezooaquatics.com/produ...d=360&pid=6896

They look like maxi mini nems to me. Can anyone clarify? If they are maxis than they are giving them away!

Thanks...

That is because they are mini carpets.

Here is a pizza anemone.. really nice one too. http://www.pacificeastaquaculture.co...80%23HP+MA2140

Not only that, but C. adhaesivum gets to be larger than the "maxi" anemones. "Pizza" anemones are also in a completely different family compared to carpet anemones--carpets are stichodactylids (including "maxis") whereas "pizza" anemones are thalassianthids. The latter always possess dendritic shaped tentacles, which are characteristic of the family.

Pretty poor id by BlueZoo.
that pizza at Pacific East is sweet though. I've wanted one a long time that looked like the ones I've seen diving. Fortunately I'm having to buy bulbs at this time and can't afford it!
A symbiotic species tank with anemone/shrimps would be so sweet.
