The Pink Tube Anemone added a nice color contrast to my tank. It’s active and grows steadily, though I had to be careful with other invertebrates due to its aggressive nature. Works well in low light with medium flow.

Great addition to my 30-gallon reef tank. It’s vibrant and stays healthy with minimal maintenance. I placed it on sand and it’s settled well. Only issue is it occasionally moves and may scare smaller creatures.

It’s a striking anemone, but it’s quite aggressive and I lost a small shrimp after a few weeks. I now keep it in a separate area with larger, more resilient species.
