Rose Bubble Tip Anemone

The Rose Bubble Tip Anemone is the familiar rose-colored form of a rock-attaching host anemone. Its tentacles add movement to a mature reef, but its ability to wander and sting makes placement an important part of planning the display.

Offer a protected foot crevice, appropriate reef lighting and moderate circulation. Allow space between the anemone and neighboring corals, including the area it might reach after expanding. Screen exposed water intakes before introduction because a moving anemone can encounter equipment beyond its original location.

Support its photosynthetic nutrition with modest portions of suitable marine meaty food. Stable water conditions matter more than repeatedly relocating it in search of a preferred viewing angle. Rose coloration does not identify a particular lineage, and the degree of tentacle bubbling can vary within the same animal.
