Are you sure that's not a Condylactis Anemone?

 

[Uncle99]

Looks bleached, sorry...

 

[Sbristol25]

Are you serious, it looks alive to me

Actually yeah I think your right, the guy I got it from told me it was a bubbletip

 

[Gernader]

It looks like a Condy anemone to me too

 

[andrewey]

No worries! Condy's are fun anemones. I think the guy that sold it to you might have just been confused. If you wanted a bubble tip, feel free to return him, but if you like him, enjoy your new anemone

Yeah I have a rose tip anemone also that's doing well, how's the care level for these guys I did a bit of research, you have any experience with them?

Some guy above said it was bleached does it look like it to you?

Since it’s a Condy, they are usually in white color with purple/pink tips. I would say it’s not bleached.

It's not bleached- that's what those Condy's look like. They are actually easier to care for than bubble tips in my opinion. They don't tend to split as often and it's rarer for clowns to host them (rarer, but still very possible). They have their pros and cons compared with BTA, but ultimately I've had a few I enjoyed.

Also how do these things react to dipping them, can you dip them, cause I saw it has mixed reviews on dipping anemones

 

[andrewey]

What would you be dipping them in? I've never personally dipped an anemone. I've only dripped acclimated my anemones and in a couple of cases where the anemone was sick or injured, I treated them with abx in hospital tanks.

I honestly don’t know how they will react to dipping, but I never did it for mine. I suspect the dip would be very bad for anemones. They aren’t like other corals where they have hitchhikers since the anemones have stinging cells and slime on them

Ok, nice I floated the bag and put about 5 cups from my water into the bag, hopefully its good to go

Thanks for the help!

I personally wouldn't dip it. That dip is designed for corals- I'm not sure what effect it will have on an anemone, but I wouldn't be optimistic about it not hurting the anemone. Just make sure to acclimate slowly as they're pretty sensitive to changes in pH/temperature (although the Condy is much less sensitive than many anemone species).

Healthy specimens are light beige, sometimes greenish, white is not their healthy colour, it’s their stressed coloration.
White means it’s tossed it’s zoo, or is no longer processing.
