Macrodactyla doreensis | T

Macrodactyla doreensis is a striking species of sea anemone prized for its unique appearance and moderate care requirements. This tiny specimen is suitable for experienced marine aquarium hobbyists who can provide stable water conditions and appropriate feeding.

Feeding: This anemone benefits from regular feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, finely chopped seafood, or specialised anemone pellets. Feeding 2-3 times per week is recommended to maintain health and vibrancy.

Compatibility and Reef Safety: Macrodactyla doreensis is generally reef safe with caution. It may sting nearby corals or small invertebrates if placed too close. Careful placement away from delicate corals and cautious monitoring of tank mates is advised.

Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide adequate space and stable water parameters. Moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow are ideal to mimic its natural habitat without causing stress.

Placement: Position this anemone on a stable rock or substrate area with moderate water movement and indirect light. Avoid strong currents or direct intense lighting to prevent retraction or bleaching.

Additional Care: Maintain pristine water quality with regular water changes and stable parameters. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or salinity to reduce stress.
