About Long Tentacle Green Anemone
The Long Tentacle Anemone (Macrodactyla doreensis) lives with its column buried in sand and its long, tapering green tentacles spread across the surface. It hosts several clownfish species. It needs a deep sand bed to anchor into; without one it will wander the tank and fail to settle.
Long Tentacle Green Anemone care at a glance
- Lighting: Moderate to high – 150 to 250 PAR
- Water flow: Low to moderate flow
- Placement: Sand bed at least 8 to 10 cm deep so it can bury its foot
- Feeding: Feed small meaty foods once or twice a week

Anemones need a mature aquarium, ideally six months old or more, with salinity steady at 1.025 and a temperature of 24 to 26°C. Cover pump and overflow intakes, because an anemone that wanders can be drawn in and injured.
