rizkisofani · Sep 24, 2021

Hi i just got new anemon from a fisherman, he dont know the id. Please help me id this and where to put in tank. Thanks.

I can’t view the video. Pics are usually easier for ID anyway. To get the best id, post pics of the following if possible:
1. Foot
2. Oral disc
3. Tentacles
4. Under the oral disc (looking for verracue)

Hard to tell from the video but it almost looks like a variety of frilly anemone. (Phymanthus sp.) Common around Singapore. As far as care your best bet is to ask the fisherman to describe where he found it. If it's a frilly then they aren't very common in the hobby. Lighting and flow may vary.

Sorta looks like a sea apple

Does it have a large base with rows of tube feet? If so then it is a type of sea apple. (Sea cucumber) It's definitely unique either way.

Thing is half a salad.

The more I watch the video the more I think that this thing isn't an anemone at all but rather a type of jellyfish resting upside down. Possibly even a variety of upsidedown jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.) If it's on its way out that could explain why it isn't more mobile. It could be freshly dead now. I'd love to see some pictures of it from different angles.

Anyone know why I can’t see videos on this forum? Is there a setting or something? When I click on it I just see this:

I can't tell from that. I wouldn't be taking it out of the tank at this point. Anemones are often very sensitive a can take time to acclimate, especially directly from the wild. You don't want to stress it.
