This anemone is often sought after for its ability to add a stunning pop of color to reef aquariums.

With a care level categorized as moderate, the Neon Green Carpet Anemone is best suited for hobbyists with some experience.

A diet rich in meaty foods, such as small fish, shrimp, and other seafood, is essential for its health and coloration, and regular feeding is recommended to promote its growth.

The semi-aggressive temperament of this anemone means it can be territorial, using its stinging tentacles to defend its space.
