Rose Bubble Tip Anemone
The Rose Bubble Tip Anemone is a less common color variety of the Bubble Tip Anemone, also known as the Four-colored, Bulb Tentacle, Bulb Tip, or Bubble Tip Anemone. As its name implies, the enlarged tip near the end of the tentacles is a rich rose to red color, giving the Rose Bubble Tip Anemone an unexpected pop of color that adds fantastic visual interest to your marine aquarium landscape.
In the wild, Bubble Tip Anemones are typically found in coral rubble or in solid reefs, with their pedal disc attached deep within these rocky structures. When hungry, the anemone stretches its tentacles to increase its chances of capturing a meal. When satiated and content, the tentacles shorten and return to their bulbous shape.

The Rose Bubble Tip Anemone adds a vibrant touch to my reef tank. The rose color at the tentacle tip stands out beautifully against the surrounding corals. It has been stable for over six months with minimal changes in behavior.
Simon Newman –
I was initially cautious about adding anemones to my tank, but this one has adapted well. The color is more vivid than expected and it doesn’t seem to be aggressive toward other inhabitants.

It requires consistent water parameters and moderate lighting. After a few weeks of adjustment, it settled in and looks healthy. Not the easiest to maintain, but worth the effort for the visual impact.
