Black Ice Ocellaris, I actually have two anemones, but one hides at night.
Yeah I mean I have 2 regular Ocellaris and neither of them care about any of the 5 bubble tip anemones I have. I’m hoping as they sexually mature they will looking to the anemones to host them. The one I assume to be female has shown the most interest in my anemones but I have yet to see any interaction. Some have been successful with taping pictures of clownfish in anemones, others have reported using ipad videos on replay for their fish, some have taken both the clowns and anemone into a basket in the tank so they are in closer proximity but to be honest I would just give them time.
I will definitely try this!
Have a picture of it? Usually the only time you see white BTA are when they're bleached. As far as an anemone hosting a clown I would just be patient. It took me over 2 years, hundreds in anemone and being persistent with every trick I could find on the internet. Now they are territorial and bite me every time I have a hand in the tank.
I dropped my phone in a lake this weekend so haha, so these are the best photos I have as it’s hiding right now because the lights are ramping down. Don’t have an orange lens for my camera so the colour is a little off compared to the link but in real life it pretty much looks exactly the same as the picture.
You got it!
Yeah agree, an all white (almost translucent) BTA might be bleached but there are some color morphs that have some very light colored tips that they are calling "white tipped BTA". I heard acid washed and my immediate thought was that they might have got their nems from AquaSD who seem to be importing a lot of these acid washed color variants. They are also the ones that I have seen "white tipped" BTAs.
Where did you get it from? Almost looks like some of the torches out there. Those tips look too bright under the blues to be bleached in my opinion. Typically under blues a bleached specimen will just be drowned out by the blues, this almost seems like the tips are fluorescing. They might also be calling the tips white but more likely they are some other color that is just really light in color.
I'll try that, my clownfish is being aloof to the anemone.
I used to have one exaxtly like that. It was a purplish/green (green was when lights were close to 10,000k and purple was when lights were closer to 20,000k and if all blue led bars were on, it kind of looked almost black) with very white tips. it was a BTA and acted just like most GBTA do, (in regards to usually lower light in a tank than an RBTA would typically go to). Sadly, it decided to move, rolled into my neon green haddoni (the massive one) and the haddoni ate it.
