Hello,

I would like to know the species of this anemone and if it is sick or healthy.

Thanks!

Can you get a pic of it’s oral disk. Looks good

My guess is it is a Condylactis Gigantea from Southern Florida and the Caribbean. Is it’s base a reddish/orange color?

No, the base was not red/pink or orange, it was the same color as the tentacles, a bit darker purplish color.

That is the only pic I got of it. I might be able to get more tomorrow but this thread would be long gone by then lol.
I was looking at LTA and Condy pics but couldn't find one that looked similar so I thought it was bleached or sick.

Thanks!

No, your Anemone looks good from my experience. Many anemones can be a brownish, pale lavender or white even in the color of their tentacles.

Nevermind. I got more pictures! A maroon is hosting it now though.
Its almost impossible to see its oral disk. :/ Does it still look like a condy? I can see faint purple dots at the tip of some tentacles.

It double posted, I dont know how to remove the copies.

Looks like a condy

Looks like a condy

Thank you! Do you know the chances of an Ocellaris hosting a condy?

 

[James M]

Comdys Have chance of eating a ocellaris. You have a better chance with a LTA or BTA

Condy, not really considered a host anemone, has a stronger sting.

Maroons are so host needy they typically take any nem given, occs not so much
