ASD Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone

About this invertebrate

ASD Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone is a reef invertebrate commonly kept for its graceful, tentacled movement and attraction as a centerpiece animal in marine aquariums. As a bubble tip anemone, it typically attaches to rock or other hard surfaces and uses its tentacles to capture food while also relying on symbiotic algae for part of its energy. In practical terms, it’s well-suited for established saltwater tanks where you can provide stable water conditions and appropriate placement so it can settle and acclimate comfortably.

Features:

• Provides a natural, flowing tentacle display that adds movement to reef-style aquariums
• Typically attaches to hardscape (such as live rock) and can shift its position as it settles
• Relies on a combination of light-driven symbiosis and feeding for best long-term condition
• Tentacles help capture small foods, supporting natural hunting behavior
• Often benefits from stable, mature tank conditions rather than frequent changes
• Can require thoughtful placement because it may move and interact with nearby sessile organisms

Specifications:

• Care level (general guidance): Moderate (needs stable conditions and suitable lighting/flow)
• Light (general guidance): Moderate to strong aquarium light, depending on how the anemone responds after placement
• Water flow (general guidance): Moderate, avoiding harsh direct blasting while keeping gentle circulation around the tentacles
• Diet (general guidance): Captures small foods; often benefits from supplemental feedings of appropriately sized meaty foods
• Temperature (general guidance): About 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• Salinity (general guidance): About 1.020–1.026 specific gravity
• pH (general guidance): Approximately 7.8–8.5
