Description
The Assorted Tube Anemone, scientifically known as Cerianthus spp., is a fascinating and colorful marine invertebrate that adds a unique aesthetic to reef aquariums. With its long, flowing tentacles that can vary in color from pink to purple, often with vibrant green centers, this anemone creates a stunning visual display under aquarium lighting.
Native to the sandy and rocky substrates of tropical and subtropical waters, Tube Anemones are typically found burrowed into the substrate, with their tentacles extending out to capture food. As carnivores, they primarily feed on small fish, zooplankton, and detritus, which makes them important contributors to the ecological balance of their environment.
Caring for the Assorted Tube Anemone requires moderate expertise due to their specific dietary needs and sensitivity to water conditions. They are generally peaceful and can coexist with various reef species, although caution should be taken with small fish that may be seen as prey.
Approximate Purchase Size: 3″ to 10″.
