The Heteractis crispa, commonly known as the Sebae Anemone, is a captivating and vibrant species prized for its striking yellow tentacles. This extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point in any mature marine aquarium.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. This species requires stable water parameters and a well-established tank.
Feeding: While Heteractis crispa benefits from photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae, it also requires supplemental feeding. Offer meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or finely chopped seafood 1-2 times per week to maintain optimal health.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Generally reef safe, but with caution. This anemone can host certain clownfish species, but it may sting or harm nearby corals and invertebrates if placed too close. Provide ample space to avoid aggressive interactions.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 120 litres is recommended to accommodate its size and movement. Moderate lighting and moderate water flow are ideal to mimic its natural habitat without causing stress.
Placement: Position on a stable rock or substrate area where it can attach securely. Avoid areas with strong direct flow or intense lighting.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Up to 30cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
With proper care, this extra large Yellow Heteractis crispa will thrive and become a stunning centrepiece in your marine aquarium.
