Long Tentacle Purple Anemone

About Long Tentacle Purple Anemone

This Long Tentacle Anemone has purple-toned tentacles, sometimes with faint banding, above an orange to red column buried in the sand. It is a good host for clownfish in tanks with a deep sand bed. Once its foot is anchored at the base of the sand it tends to stay put.

Long Tentacle Purple 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
• Care level: Moderate – needs a mature tank and a deep sand bed

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.
