Curator's Note
Anemones have stinging cells called nematocysts which can cause allergic reaction in humans and often death to the animals it shares the aquarium with. We recommend handling this animal with some sort of protection (plastic, rubber, or latex gloves) to protect your hands and arms.
Other Common Names
Corkscrew Anemone, Sand Anemone, Red Base Anemone, Red Tentacle Base Anemone, Purple LTA
Description
This rare Long Tentacle Anemone has purple tentacles. The Long Tentacle Anemone prefers to be kept on fine substrate. Hosts best with A. Clarkii, A. chrysogaster, A. perideraion, and A. polymnus.
Diet
Though mostly photosynthetic, supplemental feedings of raw table shrimp, clam, mussel, silversides, squid and other marine based meats can be fed every few days. Pieces should be cut roughly to the size of the anemones mouth.
