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

Bulb Anemone, Four Colored Anemone, Bulb Tentacle Anemone

Description

Bubble Tip Anemones are the hardiest of the Anemones to keep in captivity. As the specimen grows larger it may split into clones. This anemone will host most Clownfish and should be placed in a large, well lit aquarium that is well established and has stable water quality.

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.
