half-astronaut Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I recently bought a used tank with some livestock. Included was an nem the previous owner called a carpet anemone, but I'm not so sure. The blue tips are a photo artifact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bler Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hard to tell, almost looks like a plate not a nem.. does it have an oral disc/mouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
half-astronaut Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 That's what I thought at first, but it's definitely a nem, I can't get a good angle to show the oral disc. I'm thinking it's a flower anemone, but without the bright middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it's a flower anemone, but without the bright middle. Not a flower nem. What makes you certain it’s not a plate? If you are certain, perhaps search “long tentacle anemone” (yes that is actually the name of an anemone). Could be what you’re looking for friend.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxkenny90xx Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I can't tell you what it is but it isn't any species of flower nem that I'm familiar with. The tentacles look right but it shouldn't have tentacles in the center Edited August 1, 2020 by xxkenny90xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Not a rock flower. What makes you certain it’s not a plate? If you are for sure that it isn’t a plate, perhaps search up “long tentacle anemone” (yes that’s a name of an anemone).

bler Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Does it move on it's own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
half-astronaut Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Yeah, it's definitely an anemone. I had to clean the tank out so it was in qt for a bit. It sticks to the sand bed these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxkenny90xx Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I've got some sand anemones, they are very similar to rock nems accept they spit out one baby at a time (every few months) and they're way stickier all over. If left unchecked for too long they can take over a tank (I have to go in and get rid of about 9 a year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
