Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone

LIGHT: MODERATE-HIGH (150-250 par) is what we find best although sometimes we are even confused. The typical recommendation is to blast them with light (up to 350par) but we haven't always gotten the best results doing this. For this reason, we recommend MODERATE high lighting around 200-250 par and allow the anemone to adjust its position as desired. Overall these anemones seem adaptable to a variety of lighting conditions.

FOOD: We haven't noticed that any specific feeding strategy is required for these corals. However we find that larger specimens do benefit from occasional spot feeding of meaty foods like mysis and brine. You can hurt these corals by over-doing the feeding so try to use restraint if spot feeding. Like most corals they capture nutrients from the water and will do best when supplied a healthy amount of food. Our method is high import, high export.

FLOW: LOW-MODERATE. Flow can be a big challenge for bubble tip anemones. They tend to go for walks and will get sucked up easily into any unguarded flow makers in your aquarium. The best tank for anemones in general is one that is designed with them in mind.

 AGGRESSIVE These corals can grow large and will sting and eat meaty foods in the water. Usually they do not pose a harm to fish unless the fish is not healthy or is otherwise struggling.
