The "little anemone" is growing

Rate this Entry
Back in March I added a little anemone to the tank, unsure if it had been a wise purchase, if it would survive or if I would be able to properly feed it.

Well, after a few unsuccessful attempts to feed it small pieces of shrimp I stopped feeding, but the anemone has been slowly growing, apparently just from light and whatever it might be filtering out of the water.

Here is what it looked at the start:

Here is what it looks like now, mind you that in these pictures it is only 70% extended, there are times of the day it is larger than in these pictures:

You can also notice it moved a little bit. Originally it was positioned or anchored inside a crevice, it later walked to the top of the rock, probably because from there it could catch some sunlight in the morning (during late fall and winter).

    That's great! Looks like a nice bubble tip anemone. I never feed mine either.
