Entacmaea quadricolor (Green) | L

The Green Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) is a popular and visually striking invertebrate prized for its vibrant green tentacles and dynamic movement. This large specimen is perfect for experienced marine aquarists seeking to add a captivating focal point to their reef or fish-only marine aquarium.

Care and Husbandry: This species requires stable water parameters with a temperature range of 24-27°C, salinity between 1.023-1.025 SG, and excellent water quality. Moderate to strong lighting is recommended to support its symbiotic zooxanthellae, while moderate water flow helps maintain tentacle health without causing damage.

Placement should be on live rock with enough space to allow tentacle expansion and movement. The Green Bubble Tip Anemone can host clownfish species, making it a popular choice for reef tanks; however, it can sting nearby corals and invertebrates, so careful placement is essential.

Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or finely chopped seafood once or twice weekly supports optimal growth and health.

Compatibility: Reef safe with caution. It is generally compatible with clownfish and many reef-safe fish but may harm corals and small invertebrates due to its stinging tentacles.
