That's understandable.

That's a cool looking nem! The tentacles are so pretty

goodtimes · 12/23/2011, 09:28 PM

Did you keep it or is that not allowed?

treetopflyn · 12/23/2011, 09:31 PM

It's allowed and yes I kept it. It's in the tank and looks great.

todd rose · 12/23/2011, 09:34 PM

treetopflyn · 12/23/2011, 09:37 PM

ingtar_shinowa · 12/23/2011, 10:13 PM

csmfish · 12/23/2011, 10:30 PM

Ahhh, THATS what it is, a nem, lol. Hope it isnt part of the aptasia family, lol.

Dustin1300 · 12/23/2011, 10:42 PM

From the looks of the photo it looks really big. Any pics of it in tank?

The tube was about 5" long and the head is about 1.5" diameter with the tentacles extending out to about 2.5".

Lights are out but here is one with the flash.

Crazy, a banded tube, nice. How hard was it to get him out of the sand?

Ron Reefman · 12/24/2011, 07:11 AM

Cool anemone. I've been snorkeling in the Florida Keys 100 times and have never found a tube anemone. Lots of other kinds, which is part of why I have a nem tank. We found 'hitchiker' anemones when walking the beach near home on the Gulf. They are kind of cool and can be colorful, but they are small and need to be fed. What state or area did you find your nem?

treetopflyn · 12/24/2011, 07:12 AM

Not real hard. It was soft sand.
