Nate January 26, 2010 Author January 26, 2010 are you sure it is an anemone? No not really...here is a picture to help identify.
dshnarw January 26, 2010 January 26, 2010 Definitely an anemone, but there are several swimming anemones. Might be genera Stomphia or Boloceroides, but there are others as well.
jamesbuf January 26, 2010 January 26, 2010 Wow, really cool. Never even knew something like this existed. Tagging along......
traveller7 January 26, 2010 January 26, 2010 I have only heard of the anemones which use tumbling as a form of locomotion, that appeared quite different. Cool too I wonder if it would need a specialized tank, say a pseudokreisel.
dshnarw January 26, 2010 January 26, 2010 I wonder if it would need a specialized tank, say a pseudokreisel. i would think they'd be okay with simply good filter pads over powerheads and intakes. seems that most of the swimming anemones only do so to avoid predation. one of my favorite swimming anemone vids (skip to about halfway through for the good stuff):
Sikryd January 26, 2010 January 26, 2010 Wow, really cool. Never even knew something like this existed. Tagging along...... +1 It looks like a jellyfish swimming! Pretty neat. Saltwater never ceases to amaze me...
