Description
The Sebae Anemone (Green) is a beautiful and captivating addition to marine aquariums, known for its long, graceful tentacles that are often tipped in purple, creating a striking contrast with its green base. It requires moderate to advanced care and is suitable for aquarists with experience in maintaining stable water conditions. This anemone can establish symbiotic relationships with certain clownfish species, which may adopt it as a host, adding another layer of interest to the tank.
While visually appealing, the Sebae Anemone can be challenging to keep due to its sensitivity to water quality. It prefers a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for stability. Adequate lighting and strong water flow are essential to support its health and maintain its vibrant color.
It should be handled with caution in reef tanks, as it may sting other corals or tank mates if it comes into contact with them. Additionally, this anemone is a carnivore, requiring regular feedings of meaty foods to thrive. With the proper care, the Sebae Anemone can become a mesmerizing centerpiece, enhancing the natural beauty of any marine setup.
