Macrodactyla doreensis (Bluish) is a large and visually striking sea anemone prized for its vibrant bluish hues and robust nature. This species is a captivating addition to mature marine aquariums, offering both aesthetic appeal and interesting behaviour.
Feeding: Macrodactyla doreensis benefits from regular feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, chopped seafood, and specialised anemone pellets. Feeding 2-3 times per week is recommended to maintain health and vibrancy.
Compatibility: This anemone is generally compatible with a range of reef-safe fish and invertebrates but should be housed with caution alongside delicate corals and slow-moving species due to its stinging tentacles. It may host certain clownfish species, but compatibility should be confirmed on a case-by-case basis.
Reef Safety: With Caution – while generally reef safe, its stinging tentacles can harm nearby corals and sessile invertebrates if placed too close.
Care Requirements: Macrodactyla doreensis requires stable water parameters with moderate lighting and moderate water flow. Placement should allow ample space for expansion and movement, ideally on sandy substrate or rockwork with room to anchor its base.
Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 120 litres (approximately 30 gallons) is advised to provide sufficient space and stable conditions.
Origin: Not Provided
