Yellow Heteractis Malu (pics)

Picked this guy up from a LFS. He was $40 bucks. It took him a week or so to get sticky and eat quickly, but he did eventually. Now he is kindof hidden away in this cave, but still eating, and quite sticky. Tell me what you think.

First dropped him in. Awesome looking column.


Starts to crawl...


Keeps crawling...


settles in....



A few days later has an identity crisis and thinks he is a rock anemone...

Wow - I've never seen a Malu w/ a colored foot like that. What kind of verecrue does he have on the underside of the oral disk?

Great pictures - keep them coming!
