Condylactis gigantea (Pink tip) | S

Condylactis gigantea (Pink Tip) is a captivating sea anemone known for its large, fleshy tentacles tipped with a delicate pink hue. This small specimen is perfect for marine aquarium enthusiasts seeking to add dynamic movement and colour to their reef or fish-only setups.

Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and regular feeding.

Feeding: Although Condylactis gigantea can derive some nutrition from photosynthesis via symbiotic zooxanthellae, it benefits greatly from supplemental feeding. Offer meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, chopped seafood, or specialised invertebrate pellets 2-3 times per week.

Compatibility: Generally peaceful but can sting nearby corals and invertebrates. Keep well-spaced from delicate corals and avoid housing with aggressive or anemone-eating fish.

Reef Safety: With Caution. Its stinging tentacles may harm neighbouring corals and some invertebrates.

Lighting: Moderate to high lighting to support its symbiotic algae, but avoid sudden intense light changes.

Water Flow: Moderate water movement is ideal to mimic natural conditions without causing excessive stress.

Placement: Place on sandy or rocky substrate with enough space to expand fully. Avoid areas with strong direct flow or close proximity to sensitive corals.

Tank Size: Minimum 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to provide adequate space and stable conditions.

Origin: Not Provided.

Maximum Size: Up to 30 cm (12 inches) diameter in mature specimens.

Regular water quality monitoring and stable marine conditions will ensure your Condylactis gigantea thrives and becomes a stunning focal point in your aquarium.
