Bubble Tip Anemone

Entacmaea quadricolor

Identification	Green, tan, brown, or multicolor tentacles with distinctive bubble-shaped tips (the bubbles often disappear under high light or strong flow). Clones readily when conditions are good.
Maximum Length	Up to 12 inches
Origin	Indo-Pacific, Red Sea
Minimum Tank Size	30 gallons
Reef Compatibility	Reef safe with space

Behavior

One of the most popular anemones in the hobby. Compatible with most clownfish species. May wander the tank until it finds suitable lighting and flow. Will clone (split in half) when healthy — a sign of good husbandry.

Diet & Feeding

Photosynthetic zooxanthellae provide most nutrition. Supplement 2–3 times per week with small pieces of fish, shrimp, or krill placed directly on the tentacles.

Cautions

Stinging tentacles can harm nearby corals — give adequate space. Acclimate slowly via drip line. Very sensitive to rapid swings in salinity and pH. Keep flow moderate to prevent tentacles catching on powerhead intakes.
