Ok, i need someone to settle this once and for all. I have always thought this was a long tentacle anemone. But a friend keeps telling me it's a bubble tip. I've never seen it bubble, and I've had this for about 10 years.

I'm wondering why it has never bubbled?

Yep, sure looks like a bubble tip. I've heard (not sure if true) that in lower light levels, the bubbles are less likely to form. When the tentacles are long it's like they are stretching for the light. Yours is beautiful. Are you keeping it under florescent lighting?
I say, because it's large. I've never had a huge bubble tip in any system actually have inflated tentacles. Only smaller ones.

That's many anemone, not a single one. That would be truly nuts.

Thats a bubble tip. Look up the video about bubble tips on "Mevlev's Reef" on you tube. It is a great video. His started as a bubble tip and as the tentacles got longer it lost the "bubbles". His looks exactly like yours.
