The Heteractis crispa (Pink) is an impressive and vibrant sea anemone, prized for its striking pink tentacles and dynamic movement. This Extra Large specimen is suitable for experienced marine aquarists with established reef tanks.
Care Level: Moderate to Advanced. This species requires stable water parameters and consistent care to thrive.
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 support growth and vitality.
Compatibility & Reef Safety: Generally reef safe, but caution is advised as its long tentacles can sting nearby corals and invertebrates. It is compatible with certain clownfish species, which may host within its tentacles.
Lighting & Water Flow: Prefers moderate lighting to support its symbiotic algae without causing bleaching. Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to ensure tentacles move gently without being damaged.
Placement: Place on stable rockwork or sandy substrate in a mature tank with a minimum volume of 150 litres. Avoid areas with strong direct currents or intense lighting.
Additional Notes: This Extra Large Pink Heteractis crispa is a captivating focal point for marine tanks but requires patience and experience to maintain. Regular water quality monitoring and feeding will ensure long-term health.
