   |  Blue Tip Anemone
Just back from vacation and right to the local LFS, LOL
Ok,so I just picked up an anemone that is blue tipped with an organge base. I cannot find too much info on the net about them. I am leaning towards it being a Condy of some sort, not sure..The tentacles are about 8 inches long and it is about 8 inches around.
Any thoughts on what type of anemone this might be?

I am thinking it could be a long tentacle anemone....Do the tentacles kind of curve inward a little especially the short tentacles around the mouth???? | |

AHHH, that looks to me like a hatian anemone which is the same as a condy. | |

That is my thinking as well.
Anyone keeping this anemone? If so, have you seen any agression towards other tankmates?
Thanks | |

Do Condy anenomes have an orange base or could this be a different anemone? | |
