I found this beautiful LTA at a local Fish store and boy was I happy to add him to my 125 gallon tank. He was 4 inchs across when I bought him. After a few months he is now a whopping 12 inches across and has developed the customary curle at the end of his Tenticles. He lives with my Rose Anemones but is not in contact with any of them. He grabs up whole silversides every time I feed him which is 2 times a week. Here he is when I first bought him.
And now, December 2006
AND NOW See him in his very own movie. Click the below link. See in the movie how curly his tenticles are now. He is so beautiful. And while you are there, see the other two movies that I have made, they are short so as to save space at photobucket but are kind of fun to see. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v346/karenssaltwater/Movies/?action=view¤t=lta.flv
An updated picture of this beautiful Anemone. She has regained her natural color and also the curls on the ends of her tenticles. She is now about 12" across when fully open and I have had to move many zoos and polps out of her way. And my new addition. This gorgeous LTA. When fully open she is around 12" across and is eating 3 silversides at a feeding.
She is a bit bleached and doesn't have her curlyque tenticles yet but will in a few weeks as she recovers.
Another Updated picture of him. Taken 7-23-08 And the next picture you can see her brother? and two BTA's that are within touching distance. But they get along just fine.
