	White Anemone
Week End Big Fish Posts: 414 Kudos: 436 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-May-2004	I noticed there are white anemone with purple tips in my LFS recently...after few readings on WetWebMedia, it has been mentioned that it is actually a sign of inadequate lighting. So I just want to confirm here... the shop name it a Radianthus (spelling?)

Week End Big Fish Posts: 414 Kudos: 436 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-May-2004	yes that's what it looks like...ok so it is not lighting problem... in the description it saids "can be aggressive to tank mates" so it means it will sting corals and other anemone if they come close in contact? high chance it will happen? and are thye likely to move around to find a comfortable place to sit just like other anemone does?

And yes, they do have a some what powerful sting, and can sting and kill some corals. Though there are many people that keep them with corals, there are many that will not. For a reef tank, the safest anemone is the bubble tip. HTH..... _____________________________________________________________ There is always a bigger fish...

Week End Big Fish Posts: 414 Kudos: 436 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-May-2004	I just got myself one of this guy 2 days ago, it moved by itself as expected..(under rocks again... Today I was trying to feed some brine shrimp to it but seems like it makes no response to it...is it because its still acclimatising to the new environment? It responses to other things like fish movements and it did clamp and expand itself during the day
