Any information or tips on this type of anemone

Keep your parameters stable and nitrates less than 5-10 ppm. If you feed it, small bits of food are easier to digest for them. I feed mine a small bit of mysis every week or so. As long as your lighting is sufficient, and your parameters are stable, it should do great!

So everyone agrees rbta? Costly anemone I got for free lol

 

[emmett0122]

thats what it looks like to me and getting free is great and he looks happy

 

[Greenman]

Its the size of a quarter so hopefuly it'll grow before my clowns rape it lol

 

[Greenman]

guess ill try to feed it a tiny piece of shrimp. what is the grow rate on these things?

 

[Greenman]

now im getting some info that it may be a majano which is really making me worry.. I hope not because this thing is sharp looking.

 

[chichimom79]

Could be. I recently nursed what I thought was a fuzzy mushroom baby until it got bigger and I realized it was a majano. It was pretty too. :(

I have a black ice snowflake pair that host a tiny RBT in my tank. If they bother hi too much he moves behind the rock for a few days. Lol

Tried posting a pic but it isn't cooperating.

They will kill it if they host in it and it's too small....
