Jay Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I would like to know exactly what type of anemone this is. I research the Sebae Anemone (Heteractis crispa) and it says it can reach 8 to 10 inches. It looks like mine but my anemone is much bigger then this. Sometimes it is 14 inches or bigger. Hard to tell exactly how big it gets. (scratch) What are your opinions as to what it is? Here are 2 pictures that show its size pretty good. I think it may be a Radianthus ritteri because they can get up to 3 feet across. But at the same time mine has purple tips sometimes. Sometimes the tips look red. Thanks for your time.

Jay Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Wow...nobody wants to guess? I have always thought crispa because thats what the guy told me it was. I dont remember who it was that sold me it but I think I met him here. He lived in Gresham. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhead77 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'd have to go with Crispa. This looks exactly like the one I have, although quite a bit larger. It's a beautiful creature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
