| Re: Identification help Enter the really crappy world of common names.....sigh...
The link to WWM that I posted says the following....
"Heteractis crispa (Ehrenberg 1834), the Leathery or Sebae Sea Anemone. Family Stichodactylidae. Often mis-sold/identified in the trade as H. ritteri and the commonest species in the market as the "Sebae Anemone". Has numerous long, tapering tentacles that end in points. Column gray in color. A close-up in Fiji, the second in the Cook Islands, third in Fiji."
You and I came to the same Latin name, but differing common names....
Too darned confusing!!! LOL!!!! _________ http://www.3reef.com/uploads/BirdSig3.jpgI Love My Sig By John Hawkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| After much discussion, I finally decided to go back to the lfs and find out what the heck this thing was. Apparently I misunderstood him and it is in fact a green long tentacle sebae or Heteractis crispa. Thanks for the help guys. _________ http://www.3reef.com/photos/data/500/reef290.jpg
