Striped Long Tentacle Anemone

The Striped Long Tentacle Anemone displays elongated tentacles above a broad oral disc. It is a sand-associated anemone, making the substrate around its attachment site as important as the visible open space above it.

Provide a deep area of suitable sand where the column can settle and remain protected. Leave generous clearance for expansion and movement; the extended tentacles should not press into neighboring corals. An established anemone aquarium with suitable lighting and stable water chemistry is the appropriate setting.

Offer small portions of marine meaty foods that the anemone can manage, rather than oversized chunks. Protect pump intakes before introduction and avoid repeatedly disturbing an animal that is settling. The striped pattern is an appearance descriptor and does not change the need for a secure sand-based home.
