This anemone is visually stunning with its bright neon green color. It’s aggressive, so I only kept it with large, robust fish. It requires high lighting and a stable tank environment. After a few weeks, it expanded and settled well in the low area of the tank.

I’ve had this anemone for two months now. It’s very active and has a strong presence. I noticed it stung a small shrimp, so I removed it from the main tank and placed it in a separate area. Still, it’s a great addition for experienced reef keepers.

The color is vivid and eye-catching. However, it’s not suitable for beginners. I had to adjust the lighting and flow to match its needs. It’s aggressive and requires careful placement to avoid harming other tank mates.
