The Pink Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) is a popular choice among marine aquarium enthusiasts due to its stunning colouration and dynamic tentacle movement. This Tiny Tank-Bred specimen is ideal for hobbyists looking to add a splash of vibrant pink to their reef setup.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended. This species requires stable water parameters and consistent lighting to thrive.
Feeding: While Entacmaea quadricolor benefits from photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or finely chopped seafood 1-2 times per week will promote optimal health and growth.
Compatibility & Reef Safety: Generally reef safe, but caution is advised as the anemone’s stinging tentacles can harm nearby corals and small fish. It often hosts anemonefish, which can provide mutual benefits.
Lighting & Water Flow: Moderate to high lighting is essential to support its photosynthetic needs. Water flow should be moderate, avoiding direct strong currents that may damage the delicate tentacles.
Placement: Position the anemone on a stable rock or substrate where it can attach securely. Ensure adequate space to prevent contact with corals and allow room for expansion.
Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 75 litres is recommended to provide sufficient space and stable water conditions.
Origin: Tank-Bred specimens sourced from sustainable aquaculture.
