Weirdest Looking Anemone I have seen

[Shep]

Its called "Pizza Anemone Rainbow Yellow and Orange (Crytodendrum adaesivum)", what do you all think of it and does anyone here have one? I would love to see pictures

 

[KorD]

My LFS has one on display.... By on display I mean forever... they are ugly as sin and I do not know anyone that would buy one...

Please forgive me if you or anyone has one, but I will not take back they are ugly

 

[Shep]

Lol I never said it was a cool looking one I agree that it has a face only a mother could love

Is it pizza coloured? Rainbow? Or yellow and orange? Make up your mind live aquaria!

Some are really ugly but there are nice ones as well. Cryptodendrum adhaevisum

There are some extremly colorful ones. They do pack a huge punch however.

I've had one. Very nice anemone for a fish less tank, but will catch fish, more so than haddoni. SUPER sticky, very strong sting. Very beautiful when acclimated and healthy.

I have had those crab my arm and I have to rip them off. Took several weeks to heal and had scabs where each tentacle attached to my skin. I handle a lot of corals and no other nems bother me. So lesson here, have gloves on working around them.

Bear in mind that these anemones are one of the largest and get to about 3ft in diameter. You better have a BIG tank for one of these.
