small nems with TBS order

[charlieB]

ordered some stuff from TBS and richard threw in 2 small nems that weren't part of the order, they look kind of like small sabae ones to me? sorry the picture of the front came out really blurry...

Hard to tell from the pics but, most likely a rock flower nem. Usually what he sends.

I hope you have better luck with your TBS rock than I did.....I ended up with 14 Gorilla Crabs in a 20G rock / sand package....

Yup, rock anemones. Very cool!
He must be picking up a bunch of these recently. I got some from him a month ago!

thanks guys, i put the rock flower nems in my 5 gal for now and they are doin great, one more small nem was attached to a piece of rock and i could use some help on this ID as well

hmmm... looks like some type of baby bubble tip anemone to me.
I have to say, i've never seen stripes that go around like that. Usually there are lines that run down the length of the bubbles.

What color is it? Brownish? Just curious.

 

[charlieB]

yea brownish with a slight hint of green

 

[charlieB]

i also thought it looked like a baby bubble tip anemone but they live in the pacific/indian ocean areas and this rock is cultured in the gulf of mexico...got me stumped

 

[d2mini]

I've gotten several different types of anemones from Richard, but yeah... no clue man. lol
My best guess is he's ok, though. Doesn't look like a majano to me.

 

[MitchReef]

Could it be a St. Thomas shroom???

 

[charlieB]

got a response from richard

You have a bulb anemone..really cool critter…only grows in the gulf!

 

[MitchReef]

cool....

Cool pick up---- I was going to guess a warty anemone if it has bumps on the column.
