迷你超长地毯海葵,homactis tapetum, have been a hot commodity from Vietnam for a long time already. They used to come in all possible coloration, and it took us quite a long time to actually discover their habitat in the wild but the only few proper information, including the correct scientific name was found in the new book from印度太平洋珊瑚我们强烈推荐。
在深处发现:
自从发现印度尼西亚的鲜红色迷你马克西地毯以来,它们才开始成为印度尼西亚的热门商品。它的价格总是很高的,只有我们发现一些我们理解为什么它们值得这么多。由于我们探索了很多浅水栖息地,因此我们倾向于寻找越来越深的有趣的东西,因此我们尝试在这些充满惊喜的深沙质,丰富的栖息地上花费尽可能多的时间。现在,我们掌握了时间安排以便到达那里,如果条件正确,我们可以将头从字面上伸入基板。它在90英尺(30 m)的低于90英尺(30 m)的水中,浑浊的水,只有足够的水流来带来持续的食物,我们发现了一些homactis tapetum。
完美的伪装颜色:
它们的斑驳,剥离,生动的颜色在其他无脊椎动物中形成了一种有效的伪装形式。尤其是在深水栖息地中,颜色与人眼高度不同。所有鲜红色,黄色,紫色的颜色都变成暗淡的灰色波纹管60英尺(20 m)。
It takes a low flight mode dive profile, the head into the substrate, to actually distinguish them. The funny part about finding mini maxi carpet anemones is it’s actually the symbiotic sexy shrimp (Thor amboinensis)我们首先发现并实际赠送了。
我们总是发现至少有一对生活在迷你马克西地毯周围的虾。
The new scientific name for the Mini-Maxi Carpet ishomactis tapetum, and is not part of the classic Carpet anemones as Joe Rowlett puts it in its book:H. Tapetum,以前包括Stichodactyla。It differs from the true carpet anemones in its much smaller size ( 10 cm in oral disc diameter), the absence of verrucae, and the distinctive shape and arrangement of its tentacles-those along the margin are comparatively long and pointed, contrasting with the short, blunt endocoelic tentacles which forms rows up to 8 wide.
总是藏在一个岩石中:
We found out thathomactis tapetum总是住在一小块岩石上,脚躺在一个洞中,可以在那里缩回以寻找危险的盖子。不过,它的缩回不如地毯海葵。
Our experience in aquarium is that it can be quite difficult to settle in an aquarium, and now we think we know why. When first put in an aquarium, they tend to disappear in the rock work, and often end up swallowed into a pump or overflow. The aquarium light are most of the time too strong for them, so they directly look for shade. Then because they come with no rock, they need to find a nice shaded deep enough crevice with just enough flow to bring food. For that reason it’s better to acclimatize mini maxi carpet anemone in a secure place or container, ricordea box, with a small rock. Once it’s firmly attached, we can now move the rock to the right spot in the tank.
一旦这款迷你长袍使海葵变得适应,这将是任何水箱的一个很好的补充,甚至可以成为纳米坦克的核心。
