Bubble Tip Anemone Dividing?

TinaFoster · Oct 5, 2011

I think the bubble tip is dividing. It looks like it's stretching and bare in the middle. It makes sense since it would obviously be stressed following this move, so I'm keeping an eye on it to see what happens. How long does it take them to finish dividing if that's what it's doing?

And is this considered a coral or an anemone?

Coral is Class Anthozoa, anemone is under the class. so.. yes. it's coral

Well it definitely looks different than the others. So if it is splitting they're not all doing it. Something new to see maybe!

Pics????? Id like to see this. Thanks

I'll take some next time I go downstairs. That way the ones that have seen it can tell me if that's what's happening, too, or it's just taking on a funny shape. I sure do like having all these new things to look at!

Ok here it is. It looks like it's stretching in a couple of directions out from the center. Forgive the glass--we were really sloppy pouring water in yesterday setting these up. They're temporary housing til we get the 135G upstairs and set up.

So where it's heading downward is that gonna be another bubble tip maybe? Or am I seeing things?

And while we're on anemones, how do I care for this one? It's the prettiest color and I wouldn't want to mess it up.

Jennifier, what did you do to keep it happy?

That's a hatian condy it will catch food in the water column. I fed it small chunks of raw shrimp when i would cook shrimp pesto for the family. Standard raw shrimp thawed. There is another small pink and white anenome at the base of a rock......same thing.

I found the small pink and white one. Kinda round in shape and pointy ends right? It's pretty. I have krill here I can try to feed them til I go to the grocery store. I don't know if they caught any mysis or not I put it in there.
