SRC Member TayHongSiang Posted June 20, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi Guys, saw this in one of the LFS.... anyone know the actual name and whether isit reef safe? thanks..... think is a sabae anemone...from sealife, i suppose. u need to accimilate them well....otherwise, they will keep hiding n eventually rot inside yr tank or kamazaki by going into your wavemaker....relatively inexpensive. not too sure, if they are dyed into pink colour....i was told those in yellow colours are dyed...so they won't last long....perhaps, those experts can give their comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member iskay Posted November 9, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted November 9, 2011 I second that yellow and pink ones are dyed. Also, most white ones are bleached.

SRC Member iskay Posted November 9, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted November 9, 2011 Purple do occur in nature but is usually the drabber purple. If it's bright purple, better think twice. More common though is the purple tip. Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle.

SRC Member clownfish_forever Posted September 6, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted September 6, 2012 No wonder la. I was in for a shock when I saw them in Ah Beng place a couple of months ago. I was also like "wow...sure or not...sooooo pink and soooo yellow". They dont look natural to me.

anothermix Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 usually the dyed ones wont last long. had a white sabae anemone before and only lasted 2 months. the natural color should be creamish color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmalawi Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ah Beng at Pasir Ris has yellow and pink ones for the past few weeks when i was there. They have the richest colors of all corals in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavs Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Those at Ahbeng's shop seems to be there for ages and they don't look like they're dying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherlolo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Bleached anemones can recover, but takes a long time. Thats provided if reefer can provide it needs. Very tricker animal, but once settled down, it can be an interested addition to the aquarium. As for dyed ones, well, it has all the signs telling you it's not natural, but it's really up to individual. There is always risk with anemones.
